Abstract

Companies in Indonesia are increasingly interested in hiring international personnel. Labor inspection is essential to be able to take preemptive actions and adapt any developments that occur in the face of alterations in values and the way of life of industry and trade operators. As a result, changes to the labor inspection system must continue to be made so that rules and regulations may be successfully applied by industry and trade participants. As a result, labor inspection as a system carries out the objective and function of enforcing labor laws and regulations. In this paper, two major issues will be investigated: how legal protection for foreign workers in Indonesia has changed since the issuance of Presidential Regulation No. 20 of 2018 on the Use of Foreign Workers, and how to impose sanctions on employers who violate the provisions of positions that are open to foreign workers. Utilizing a normative juridical case approach method that involves an examination of laws and regulations using a legal concept approach. The purpose of this study is to examine how the legal protection of foreign employees in Indonesia has changed with the issuing of Presidential Regulation No. 20 of 2018 on the Use of Foreign Workers. As well as to examine the punitive procedures that the government can impose on companies that breach the provisions of jobs that are open to foreign employees, both administratively and criminally, based on positive legislation in effect in Indonesia.
