Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic is often used as an excuse for companies to take arbitrary actions that lead to disputes over rights between employers and workers. one of the problems that will arise is in the form of cutting wages to termination of employment which is carried out unilaterally by the company. Especially in the process the company carries out unilaterally contradicting existing laws and regulations. So the research aims to find out whether the COVID-19 pandemic can be used as an excuse for companies to cut wages and terminate employment of their workers as reviewed by Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 13 of 2003 concerning Manpower and Law of the Republic of Indonesia No. 11 of 2020 concerning Job Creation., as well as implementing regulations. Thus, to protect the normative rights of workers, researchers conduct research related to legal issues using the juridical normative approach, where what is studied is the norms and laws being enforced in society.
