Jakarta – The Presence of Government Regulation in Lieu of Law or Perppu No. 2 of 2022 concerning Job Creation is believed to be very appropriate. This is because this regulation is one way for Indonesia to face an economic recession in 2023.
In this regard, Trisakti University public policy observer Trubus Rahadiansyah stated that the Job Creation Perppu is urgently needed to fill the legal vacuum. According to him, the Perppu can answer the challenges that will be faced by Indonesia in facing the global economic situation.
“Indonesia needs a large investment to build various needs according to the State Budget. The existence of Perppu Ciptaker is strategic to face global challenges and economic recession,” said Trubus
Apart from the threat of an economic recession in 2023, Trubus believes that this Perppu will make Indonesia ready to face the geopolitical situation as a result of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Not only that, Trubus explained that issues related to employment had also been accommodated in the Perppu Ciptaker issued on December 30, 2022.
“This Perppu has also accommodated all employment issues, such as issues of wages, leave, workers’ rights, and others,” continued Trubus.
The Trisakti University public policy observer added that the Perppu Ciptaker still contains weaknesses, especially related to the length of service for contract workers or PKWT. In these regulations, it is not clearly stated how long the work contract will end.
“But that’s just how it is. Regarding wages, leave, other matters have been arranged. So it is sufficient to accommodate the articles governing employment issues contained in Law no. 13 of 2003 concerning Manpower,” he said.
Responding to the protest against the Perppu Ciptaker, Trubus explained that it was only natural. Because every time a new policy or rule emerges, dynamics will emerge.
“If someone disagrees, that’s only natural. Every new regulation has its pros and cons. This is called democracy, there are those who agree and disagree, “concluded Trubus.
