Problems with Providing Compensation for Outsourced Workers Based on Law Number 6 of 2023 concerning Job Creation

Law Number 6 of 2023 on Job Creation mandates vendor companies to compensate outsourced workers, but its implementation faces significant challenges. A major issue is the discrepancy between legal requirements and actual practices, with many vendor companies failing to provide compensation due to costs, ambiguous provisions, or inadequate supervision. This results in uncertainty and injustice for agency workers. Additionally, many outsourced workers lack awareness of their rights, leaving them vulnerable to exploitation. To address these issues, legal protections for outsourcing workers must be strengthened through strict enforcement against non-compliant vendor companies. Collaboration between the government, trade unions, and companies is essential to establish effective monitoring and enforcement mechanisms, ensuring the protection of agency workers' rights. Advocacy and outreach are also crucial to educate workers about their rights and support those facing difficulties in claiming compensation. By enhancing enforcement and awareness, a fairer and more just work environment that respects outsourced workers' rights can be achieved, aligning with the spirit of Law Number 6 of 2023 on Job Creation.
