Abstract
<p>Wages as labor’s basic rights have changed since the Job Creation Law was enacted. It is essential that wages be distributed following the principle of job creation to contribute to the national development for the whole people. This research aims to compare the regulation vis-à-vis legal protection and the implementation of the principles of labor development. With normative legal research and statutory approach, this research reveals that the legal protection regarding wages in the new regulations are not far better than the former ones. The wage policies that were initially stipulated explicitly in the Labor Law were revoked from the Job Creation Law, where the labor principles are not applied. With the protection not better than that of the former regulation, it is implausible to improve the welfare of workers and their family members. Supervision conducted by the government is required to ensure that labor’s rights to wages are protected.</p><p><strong>Keywords</strong><strong>:</strong> Wages; Development of Labor; Job Creation.</p>
