Legal protection for daily cooperatives is very important to ensure that their duties are carried out fairly, in accordance with applicable regulations, and without violating the rights of cooperative members. However, in the implementation of this task, there are often unwanted situations, such as violent crimes that can threaten the safety and integrity of daily cooperative employees. The inability to pay debts can trigger emotions and frustration on the part of borrowers, which in turn can trigger acts of violence against daily cooperative employees in the city of Kupang. Based on the above background, the following problem formulation is proposed: (1) What are the factors that encourage the occurrence of acts of violence against cooperative employees when carrying out collection duties? (2) What is the form of legal protection provided by the government to cooperative employees when carrying out collection duties?. This research was carried out in Kupang City, precisely at the PNM Mekaar Office, Kelapa Lima Kupang Branch. This research is an empirical legal research, which is carried out with a legislative approach and a case approach. The data were analyzed in a descriptive-qualitative manner.
