Abstract

Termination of employment is the termination of the employment relationship due to a reason as the cause of the termination of the rights and obligations between the entrepreneur and the worker. These conditions are the causes that work during life which is often imagined and the times when the person concerned appears at a certain time from work as a support. What is best at this time is that various countries are trying their best to solve crucial problems above the presence of Covid-19 which is endemic to various parts of the world, including Indonesia. One of the strategies implemented by several companies in Indonesia is Termination of Employment for employees. This is in accordance with Law No. 2003. 13 Articles 164 and 165 concerning Manpower, it’s stated that the company has the right to terminate the employment relationship with the worker if the company experiences a loss. However, after being laid off, there is a problem, namely that the worker does not get his right in the form of severance pay and is evicted from their rented residence. To answer that problem, the writer uses normative research, descriptive research, the type of data used by researchers is secondary data because it uses library materials. So the results of this study are that there are still many workers who are neglected and don’t get their rights after being laid off. Therefore, it’s necessary to agree and negotiate between workers and employers to find the best solution during pandemic like this.
