Abstract

When Covid-19 pandemic has forced the government to implement policy of limiting community mobility. This policy has negative impact on the hospitality sector, which is labour-intensive business. With pandemic reason, the hotel carried out temporary layoff, reduced wages and even reduced employees which resulted in employment termination. This pandemic situation has impact on the employers and workers, but the most difficult impact is for the workers. In this paper, we will discuss how the legal protection for hospitality workers who experience unilateral employment termination due to the pandemic will be discussed. The method in this paper is normative research method with statute approach. Referring to the employment agreement of the two parties, if there are conditions that cause one of the parties to default, then a new employment agreement can be made which is agreed by both parties. Referring to the Manpower Law, then the workers who experience employment termination will receive severance pay. Furthermore, workers can also take legal action through mediation up to the industrial relations court so that their rights can be fulfilled.
