The Work Copyright Bill will be formalized. The community is waiting because it will change the rules at work so that the conditions are more conducive. In addition, the Employment Creation Bill is also beneficial for employers, because it relaxes the rules for investors. The community is happy with the Work Creation Bill because it can improve Indonesia’s financial condition.
The economic situation in Indonesia is still sluggish due to the corona storm. The government has said a variety of things, so that our country is not mired in recession. One of them is by the Work Cipta Bill. This bill contains articles regulating labor and also about investment in Indonesia. So both in terms of employees and employers alike benefit.
The community awaits the Work Draft Bill because it improves the investment climate in Indonesia. There is an article in the bill that facilitates the investment process, so that it will invite foreign investors to enter Indonesia. This will increase the country’s foreign exchange while benefiting the people. Because new investment projects will absorb a lot of labor.
Yose Rizal Damuri, an economic observer from CSIS, revealed that the regulations in the Cipta Karya Bill should have been applied long ago. Because it benefits many parties. According to him, so far the regulations on investment in Indonesia overlap. Therefore, the Cipta Karya Bill could set it straight so that the rules are clear.
In addition to employers, employees will also benefit from the Employment Creation Bill. They will still get severance pay even though it is laid off by the company. Although only 3 months working in the office. The amount of severance pay also depends on the length of service. The longer you work, the more severance pay. If the company is negligent then it can be dealt with by the Manpower Office.
Newly laid-off employees are not only entitled to severance pay, but also JKP, aka the guarantee of losing their jobs. With notes, he is an active BPJS participant. JKP is not only in the form of cash, but also placement, training, and certification facilities. This training can be a provision when they decide to become entrepreneurs.
In addition, employees will also get an annual bonus. Even the nominal is a maximum of 8 times the salary. If the employee works less than 3 years, the bonus is 1 time salary. When the service period is 3 to 6 years, the bonus is 2 times the nominal salary, and so on. The annual bonus money provided by the company will certainly benefit the employees.
Because it is profitable, it is not surprising that the Work Cipta Bill has been anticipated by the community. When it has been formalized into a law, labor regulations will change for the better. When all employees are enthusiastic in working because the rules are good, the state of the country’s economy will recover slowly.
The Work Cipta Bill does not only benefit the community now, but also in the future. This was revealed by Lukman Hakim, economist from Sebelas Maret University. According to him, this bill was created to overcome the complexity of regulations in Indonesia. So when the bureaucracy is clear, it will get better because taking care of something is no longer convoluted.
Therefore, as Indonesian citizens, we are expected not only to await the inauguration of the Cipta Karya Bill, but also to support it. You do this by obeying the rules and not carrying out demonstrations to refuse them. Why protest when this bill contains favorable articles? Understand first before demonstrating.
The Work Copyright Bill is used to overcome bureaucratic problems in the field of investment which is still convoluted. With the investment easing and clear regulations, it will attract investors. If there are many new investment projects, it will benefit entrepreneurs and the community, because there will definitely be a lot of workers. No wonder people are waiting for this bill happily.
