Juridical Analysis of Government Regulation Number 35 of 2021 Regarding Massive Party Officers During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has severely impacted various parts of the world. One of the impacts is in the economic field, where many companies terminate their employment or lay off their employees. The Ministry of Manpower in Indonesia noted that as many as 72,983 workers became victims of Termination of Employment (PHK), and 4,156 companies laid off their employees due to financial conditions affected by Covid. The number of workers who became victims of layoffs was obtained from a survey conducted in November 2021. The survey was conducted in 21 Manpower Offices from 34 provinces in Indonesia through quantitative methods through questionnaires. The problem is that many workers/laborers who are laid off do not comply with the procedures contained in Government Regulation 35 of 2021. Workers/laborers who experience termination of employment must receive legal notification and rights due to termination of employment. This research can be categorized as normative juridical research or library law research. The research approach used is a conceptual approach.
