Abstract

This paper aims at obtaining legal solutions to build the concept of wage policies during the COVID-19 pandemic to maintain the continuity and development of local wisdom-based tourism businesses. The covid-19 pandemic has a significant impact on local wisdom-based tourism industries’ development. Decreased income caused the disability to pay workers’ standard wages. Numbers of companies were forced to close and stop operating, which affected tourism development as a source of income and a component to communicate Indonesian wealth. The Law on Manpower has regulated the minimum wages, stating that it must comply with the Minimum Wage Provisions. The denial of this provision leads to criminal sanctions for entrepreneurs. Wages are paid based on the agreement of entrepreneurs and workers. However, this agreement should not regulate the nominal value under the minimum wage provisions because it makes the agreement null and void. Laws and regulations normatively hinder the company’s efforts to develop tourism based on local wisdom. Through the normative juridical method, this research found a legal solution concept to answer the problem. The wage system must be based on individual workers’ statements to obtain the nominal amount of wages based on the tourism company’s ability. This concept should be an accommodation for legislators to carry out legal making or legal repairing of laws and regulations in the field of labor relations to save the sustainability of local wisdom-based tourism business development.
