The Association of Indonesian Employment Law Teachers and Practitioners (P3HKI), in collaboration with the Association of Leaders of Indonesian Law Colleges (APPTHI), held an Employment Law Workshop for Lecturers on April 3, 2021, titled “Wages, Labor Protection, and Social Security.”
“It is necessary to align the noble ideals of the state contained in the Preamble of the 1945 Constitution with the regulation and implementation of Law 40 of 2004 concerning the National Social Security System and Law 24 of 2011 concerning the Social Security Organizing Agency and its various implementing regulations. The weakness of the regulation has impacted not only the disharmony of laws and regulations vertically and horizontally, but also the inconsistency of government policies in the field of social security, resulting in the maturity of the SJSN institution.” said the Dean of the Faculty of Law, Universitas Sumatera Utara, Prof. Budiman Ginting, S.H., M.Hum. He conveyed this as the keynote speaker in the Employment Law Workshop for Lecturers Session 2. He also explained that Indonesia is still in the minimal system welfare state model because the Indonesian State itself has not covered the guarantees contained in ILO Social Security No. 102, which consists of sickness benefits, invalid benefits, and maternity benefits.
The material was also explained by two lecturers who are experts in the field of labor, namely Dr. Yetniwati, S.H., M.Hum as a Universitas Jambi law lecturer, and Dr. Umar Kasim, S.H., M.H., M.Kn. as the former Head of the Review of International Laws and Conventions of the Indonesian Ministry of Manpower and Lecturer at STHMI Jakarta. And also by Ahmad Ansyori, S.H., M.Hum, CLA as the National Social Security Council for the 2014-2019 Period. The Employment Law Workshop for Lecturers was moderated by Saprudin, S.H, LL.M, as a lecturer at Universitas Lambung Mangkurat Banjarmasin. This activity was opened by UPH Jakarta Lecturer Dr. Gwendolyn Ingrid Utama, S.H., M.H., as the Master of Ceremony.
The workshop began at 09.00 WIB and was attended by 65 participants, including lecturers and labor law practitioners, through a Zoom video conference. In this workshop session 2, Prof. Budiman Ginting, S.H., M.Hum discussed the implications of Law 11 of 2020 on Job Creation on wages, labor protection, and social security in Indonesia. The role of the Job Creation Law in changing the provisions in Law Number 13 of 2003 concerning Manpower. This change not only changes, deletes, or replaces existing provisions in the Labor Law, but also creates a new dimension of Labor Law.
Prof. Budiman Ginting, S.H., M.Hum also said that Indonesia must reform its social security system, starting from legal politics (membership is still segmented by profession), broader program regulations including unemployment benefits (leading to international standard social security), reformulation of benefits, contributions, institutions, supervision, government actuaries, and strengthening enforcement of participant compliance in the form of clear and definite incentives.
