Answers
1. a. The Definition of labour law according to Iman Soepomo is that it is a law comprises of
written and unwritten law concerning to a situation where works carried out under the
leaderships of other people, and the labor then receives wages from the leader. And according
to NEH Van Esveld, labour law is a lkaw concerning legal relation where a person works carried
out under the leadership of others and receive wages, including job carried out under his/her
own responsibility, and receive payment.
b. Labor law primarily concerns the rights and responsibilities of employees. Some groups of
employees find unions beneficial, since employees have a lot more power when they negotiate
as a group rather than individually. Unions can negotiate for better pay, more convenient
hours, and increased workplace safety. Employers also must follow specific rules when dealing
with union members. For example, employers may only negotiate with designated union
representatives and must carefully any agreement between the union and the employer.
2. An important part of employment that has received much attention is the employment
relationship between workers / laborers and employers. This employment relationship is
included as an Agreement. In accordance with Article 1313 of the Civil Code which reads
"Agreement is an act by which one or more people tie it to one or more other people."
From the provisions of the article, it is clear that work agreements between workers /
employers and employers all depend on the agreement of both parties. And according to the
agreement, 14 days is above the national standard and can also be enforced under article 124
of Law no.13 year 2003. So in my conclusion is that the collective labour agreement such prevail
in this situation.
3. Robby received wages Rp. 15.000.000,-/per-month. He work 7 (seven) hours a day and 40
(forty) hours a week. Which is covered by the working hours regulation, but to calculate his
overtime it can be viewed as:
40 hours per week: Rp. 15.000.000
Per hour: 93,750.
Friday:
first hour: 140,625 (93,750 times 1.5)
2&3rd hour: 562,500 (93,750 times 2(regulation) times 3(hour)
Saturday:
first hour: 140,625 (93,750 times 1.5)
2&3rd hour: 562,500 (93,750 times 2(regulation) times 3(hour)
So per week robby receives an extra of 1,406,250. So that amounts for 5,625,000 per month
So in conclusion, this month robby receives a wage in the amount of Rp.20,625,000
(15,000,000 +5,625,000)

agreement, company regulation, collective labor agreement, and custom. There are also
resources coming from the heteronomy norm which is a norm made by a third party outside
the parties bound in the employment. For example, there are law no.13 year 2003 which The
government has basically compiled instruments to protect and regulate employment in
Indonesia so as not to disadvantage the various parties, namely workers and companies
concerned.
5. There are three types of legal system of labor law, which there are as follows; Civil labour
law, which regulates rights and obligation based on private law, employment contract,
company regulation, and collective labour agreement. It is also regulated under Public Labour
law, which there are obligations to pay overtime, the prohibition of giving annual leave below
12 workdays, the prohibition of paying wages below the minimum wage. And there are also the
system of criminal labor law, which regulates the violation to minimum wage regulations, the
hindering of the formation of trade union, and preventing trade union to strike.
6. Having a competent and qualified workforce is certainly the desire of every company. In a
strategic position, employees like this are needed to be able to make the best decisions.
However, in the type of work that does not really require high competence, A work agreement
is a bond that must be fulfilled by the worker / laborer and the company where he works. The
rules regarding work agreements that have been set by the government function to provide
protection for both parties. Thus, economic growth can be maintained, and community welfare
can be achieved. there are two work agreements, namely the Specific Time Work Agreement
(PKWT) and the Unspecified Time Work Agreement (PKWTT). This is stated in Article 56 of the
Manpower Act which reads: Work agreement is made for a specified time or for an unspecified
time. The employment agreement for a specified time referred to in paragraph (1) is based on:
period of time; or completion of a certain work. Unlike the PKWT contract which is limited to a
maximum of 3 (three) years, PKWTT has no time limit. At PKWTT, the company is obliged to
provide payment in the event of Termination of Work (PHK), while this is not the case with
PKWT because PKWT workers will stop working when the agreement ends. In addition, PKWT is
also not allowed to set a trial period; whereas PKWTT may require a maximum trial period of 3
(three) months. Finally, PKWT must have a written contract; whereas PKWTT can be made
verbally but must make an appointment letter for the worker / laborer concerned. So in
conclusion, if I were to become an employer, I would use the PKWTT Method because there are
less regulation and more flexibility towards the company.
7. legal philosophy of labor law is a matter related to the principles of philosophy of formation
of norm of labor law. The pair of antinomy/value underlying the formation of a norm actually
concentrates on an objective to create justice. The pairs of antinomies which is also used to
provide basis for formation of labor law.

that guarantees the prosperity of labor, the contemporaneity and futurity must
always receive attention to keep them in a level of harmony.
