The DPR and the Government have passed the Job Creation Law as a breakthrough to cut regulations. The legal product is also believed to have made a lot of positive contributions in making it easier to open a business to work.
The government is committed to completing all implementing regulations (PP) of the Job Creation Law, by having discussed with stakeholders and considering all the aspirations and input from the public and the business world that have been received through the various aspiration absorption channels that have been prepared.
The Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Airlangga Hartarto explained that the completion of the entire RPP and Perpres is expected to be able to realize the main objectives of the creation of the Job Creation Law, namely as a form of Regulatory Reform and Debureaucratization efforts, thus encouraging the creation of more efficient, easy and certain government services by implementing norms, standards, procedures and criteria (NSPK).
Airlangga said, this implementing regulation was also to achieve the goals of the Job Creation Law which encouraged the growth of more available employment opportunities, ease of business licensing, to encourage people to open new businesses, strengthen and empower micro and small businesses, and preventive efforts through an integrated electronic system. .
In accordance with the President’s direction, the Government has opened and provided the widest possible space for the public to be able to provide input and convey aspirations since the beginning of the process of drafting regulations for implementing the Employment Creation Law.
The Coordinating Minister for Airlangga said that since the beginning the government had opened and provided 4 main channels for the wider community to convey input and convey aspirations, namely through the Job Creation Law Portal and Post, Aspiration Absorption Team (TSA), Aspiration Absorption Events, and through official letters to the Coordinating Ministry Economy and related Ministries / Institutions.
The number of inputs received through the four main channels until January 25, 2021, among others.
Through the Job Creation Law Portal and Job Creation Post, there were 112 entries via web-form, 48 via email and access to the Portal (hits) as many as 4.88 million users.
Input through the Aspiration Absorption Event which was held offline in 15 regions throughout Indonesia, by recording 38 input files.
Aspirations and input through the Aspiration Serap Team (TSA), which accommodated, discussed and provided recommendations of 227 input files.
Through an official letter to the Coordinating Ministry for the Economy as well as to related Ministries and Institutions, there were 72 input files.
In order to get sufficient input from academics and legal practitioners, discussions have also been held with a number of academics from the Law Faculties, as well as appointing several experts coordinated by Prof. Romli Atmasasmita. Legal Consultants are also active in providing input, both from a legal perspective and on its implementation.
The Job Creation Law is indeed designed by the government to ease the burden on small entrepreneurs, because there are several articles in the Omnibus Law on the Job Creation Law that can change their fate for the better in the future.
Article 91 of the Job Creation Law states that licensing MSMEs will be easier. Previously, entrepreneurs had to come directly to the Licensing Service and go through the tortuous bureaucracy, now they can be registered online. With the condition that you must attach a business license from the Head of the RT and a valid KTP.
Regarding the PP and Perpres which are enacted by considering the wide scope and dynamics of the changes that have occurred, the government will continue to carry out evaluations according to national developments and needs.
The number of implementing regulations on the Job Creation Law is 54 regulations, of which 2 have been stipulated in the form of PP (PP 73/2020 and PP 74/2020), while those in the process of completion are 52 implementing regulations, consisting of 47 RPP and 5 Rperpres.
Small entrepreneurs such as MSME businesses must be part of a large supply chain. Siding with industrial estate, for example, taking sides where facilities and facilities must be available for cooperatives and MSMEs.
The Job Creation Law is needed to overcome various existing problems and challenges in the future. Such as taking advantage of the demographic bonus that Indonesia will experience in the next 10-20 years (2020-2040), then simplifying, synchronizing and trimming regulations because there are too many regulations issued at the central and regional levels that hinder business activities and job creation.
The implementation or implementation of the Job Creation Law must certainly be appreciated, because this step will allow new jobs to be created so that a large number of the workforce is absorbed.
