Abstract

Welfare is the main goal of the Indonesian nation, which was stated by the founders of the Republic of Indonesia, on August 17, 1945, the founder of the country aimed to advance the welfare of his people. But in practice, outsourced workers/laborers are always placed in a weak and unfavorable position. This research aims to find a concept of protection for outsourced workers/laborers in order to realize welfare for workers. In this study, two legal issues were raised: 1) Legal Protection of Workers/Outsourced Workers in Employment Agreements after the enactment of Law Number 6/2023; 2) The concept of legal protection of outsourced workers/laborers in order to realize welfare. The formulation of the above problem is analyzed using the normative legal research method. After the analysis, the following research findings were obtained: 1) After the issuance of Law Number 6/2023, the legality of outsourcing practices in Indonesia is actually given a wider space such as its application to various types of work up to the PKWT period. However, the effectiveness of this protection is highly dependent on the quality and accuracy of the issuance of implementing regulations and the government's supervisory capacity; 2) Regulations such as Law Number 6 of 2023 and Government Regulation Number 35 of 2021 have tried to provide a legal framework to regulate outsourcing practices, especially through the regulation of the term of Fixed-Time Work Agreements (PKWT) and the obligation to provide compensation.
