Abstract

Legal protection for workers is intended to guarantee workers' rights and ensure equal treatment without discrimination against anything in order to fulfil the needs of workers and their families by always taking into account the interests of employers. The orientation of entrepreneurs wanting to get big profits sometimes leads to law violations. This research analyses the legal protection of work agreements for employees who receive a salary below the Provincial Minimum Wage according to the Manpower Law. The research method used is a normative research method with descriptive analysis. Based on the research, the work agreement that stipulates a salary below the minimum wage is null and void. Employees have the right to fight for their rights to receive a nominal standard salary based on Decree on Provincial Minimum Wages, among others by resolving disputes in the form of Bipartite Negotiations with or without the help of trade unions and mediation. They may even sue the employer to the Court as regulated in the Industrial Relations Dispute Resolution Law.
