Abstract

Job Creation Act as an Omnibus law product promulgated during the Covid-19 pandemic made it one of the regulations that had direct implications and should contain legal protection during the pandemic. Employment is one of sectors that amended in the Job Creation Act, the amendments including changes to the Termination of Employment Section. The purpose of discussion in this journal is to direct the changes on termination of employment in the Job Creation Act and can Covid-19 be used as a reason for termination of employment. This discussion used a normative juridical method with a qualitative approach. This study concludes that in the Job Creation Act there are additional reasons for efficiency as a reason for termination of employment and the Covid-19 pandemic can be an object as a reinforcing element for reasons of efficiency. Besides that, although adding reasons for efficiency, Job Creation Act guarantees its protection in the Job Loss Guarantee program.
