KAJIAN HUKUM TENTANG EKSISTENSI PEKERJA WORK FROM HOME DI INDONESIA

Abstract

In the era of globalization and advances in information technology, the way of working in various sectors has undergone major changes. One result of this development has been the emergence of remote work practices, commonly known as Work from Home (WFH). The research method used is normative legal research that examines literature and legislation and uses secondary legal materials consisting of secondary, primary and tertiary legal materials. Then the study was analyzed descriptively. The results showed that working from home (WFH) involves carrying out tasks from home using Information and Communication Technology (ICT). In Indonesian labor law, the status of WFH workers is equal to that of freelancers under a Certain Time Work Agreement (PKWT) according to the Manpower Law. They have similar rights and obligations to conventional employees. The employment contract becomes an important element in regulating relationships, including working hours, wages and other rights. WFH workers are entitled to wages, leave, and benefits in accordance with applicable regulations. Companies are also required to ensure the health, safety, and protection of privacy and information from WFH workers. Governments also have a responsibility to create regulations that enable employers to operate efficiently and protect workers from exploitation, through the UUCK.
