Constitutional Court decision over Employment Law amendments in the Job Creation Law Judicial Review Summary – ALTA Insight The Job Creation Law was intended to create job opportunities for the Indonesian populace. This includes several significant amendments to the original Employment Law, i.e. Law No. 13 of 2003. However, the Constitutional Court (Mahkamah Konstitusi) of the Republic of Indonesia has decided that these significant amendments have caused more harm than good for employees and did not accommodate for constitutional rights of citizens of Indonesia pursuant to the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. The Constitutional Court pursuant to its Decision No. 168/PUU/XXI/2023 (“MK Decision 168/2023”) had partially granted the petitioner’s claims, particularly on the issues of: (a) prioritisation of local talent, (b) fixed-term employment agreement, (c) outsourcing arrangement, (d) wages, (e) mandatory rest days, (f) termination of employment, and (g) severance payment. The MK Decision 168/2023 has given the instruction to the legislators to not only amend, but issue a completely new employment law, considering that its current form has gone through multiple judicial reviews and amendments. In the meantime, companies and employers shall ensure that its employment and human resources policies have complied with the amendments to the Employment Law under the MK Decision 168/2023.

Our Partner, Raditya Kosasih, were invited by Hukumonline.com to provide training to PT Pertamina Hulu Energi on the importance of Records of Processing Activities (ROPA) in the implementation of Personal Data Protection (PDP). ROPA is not merely a list of personal data that is being processed by data controller or processor; but it also serves as an evidence to achieve transparency and accountability of data processing activities to data subjects. Through this discussion, the company gained insights into the significance of ROPA and the best practices for its implementation within the industry.
