Abstract

Everybody has the right to get respectable job to support a decent life. Labor regulations are very important to avoid employer arbitrariness to unequal position of both sides. Employment regulations in each country are different. Each country has its own set of laws and regulations to provide legal protection and guarantees for workers. Although Indonesia and Malaysia have many similarities, there are also differences in employment regulations, especially in the Specific Time Work Agreement (PKWT). Because of PKWT makes workers posititon become susceptive because their rights will be lessen. This is different with Malaysia which is not regulate the distinction regulation like in Indonesia. Because of that condition, researchers use a normative juridical approach to examine the regulations governing PKWT in Indonesia and Malaysia, especially PKWT workers who experience Termination of Employment (PHK) before the agreed working time ends. Researchers also looked at fairness issues in PKWT regulations in Indonesia and Malaysia. Secondary data was collected by document study/literature study of library sources, which was then analyzed using a comparative legal approach and qualitative descriptive analysis techniques. Workers regulations in Malaysia much more support to workers prosperity than in Indonesia. PKWT restrictions in Indonesia and Malaysia have not fully addressed the problems faced by laid off workers, so it is very important for the government to create further protecions to protect their interests immediately.
