        "content": "<p>The Indonesian Employers\u2019 Association (Apindo) will soon issue 12\nguidelines for employers and workers to mitigate layoffs. \u201cWe are\npreparing how to anticipate and mitigate the possibility of layoffs,\u201d\nsaid Darwoto, Deputy Chair for Employment at the Apindo National\nLeadership Board, in Jakarta on Tuesday. According to him, the\nguidelines being drafted by the association aim to provide protection to\nthe relevant parties, both employers and workers. Darwoto said the\nguidelines or steps being prepared are expected to provide a sense of\nsecurity to the parties. He explained that under the 12 guidelines, an\nemployer may terminate employment only if all conditions are met and the\nsituation is no longer salvageable. \u201cThe 12 guidelines include steps\nsuch as the company reducing working hours, implementing efficiency\nmeasures, and experiencing a decline in orders,\u201d he said. He further\nstated that once these levels or guidelines have been fulfilled, it is\nhoped the government can assist the company through stimulus measures\nwhen a crisis occurs. However, he continued, only when the situation\ntruly cannot be sustained may the company lay off employees. All the\nguidelines being drafted are expected to anticipate employee layoffs.\n\u201cIn fact, in business terms, layoffs are actually a normal occurrence\nnow,\u201d he added.<\/p>",
