Business World Monitors Labour Regulations

The discussion regarding the Labour Bill (RUU Ketenagakerjaan) has entered a crucial stage. The business world is encouraging the new regulations to continue providing protection for workers without sacrificing corporate flexibility or the investment climate.

The Indonesian Employers Association (Apindo) considers regulatory certainty to be one of the vital factors in determining investment decisions and labour cost structures. Consequently, several provisions such as outsourcing, fixed-term employment contracts (PKWT), working hours, minimum wage, and termination of employment (PHK) have become primary concerns for employers.
