Legal Protection Of Outsourced Workers Against Termination Of Employment At Government Agencies

Abstract

Outsourced labor is outsourced labor provided by a service provider company and channeled to other companies in need. This outsourced workforce is contracted by government agencies through a work agreement system with an outsourced labor provider company. The implementation of outsourcing work agreements in terms of performance and economics will have a better impact on government agencies, but can raise other issues related to labor protection in outsourcing companies. Outsourcing is also considered to make the working relationship between the worker and the employer company unclear. Many prospective workers who get a job from an outsourcing company are required to pay a sum of money, even by deducting their monthly wages during the contract. In addition, many workers from outsourcing companies do not receive the normative rights that they should receive.

In writing this article, the type of research used is normative research using the normative juridical approach method. A process for finding applicable rules/laws, legal principles, and legal doctrines in order to answer the legal issues at hand. The approach used is a statutory approach (statua approach).

Based on the results of the discussion, that work agreements with outsourcing systems, government agencies can improve performance and good public services to the community. Government agencies can focus on the main goal of serving the community, while  supporting tasks  can be transferred to other parties who are more professional.
