Normative Analysis of Legal Protection Against Unilateral Termination of Employment Based on The Law

Abstract

Termination of employment (PHK) is a crucial action in the world of work that can have an impact on workers' rights and employment relationships. This research aims to analyze the legal protection of unilateral termination of employment based on the law. The law used in this research refers to the Labor Law or Law No. 13 of 2003. By using the normative analysis method, the results of this research are that layoffs can only be carried out if there are clear reasons and through a fair process, including discussions between the two parties. If the termination is carried out without the consent of the worker, the company is obliged to re-employ the worker or provide compensation for severance pay, long service pay, and compensation. This legal protection is implemented to maintain the basic rights of workers and prevent unilateral actions that can be detrimental.
