Indonesia’s employment law landscape has recently undergone significant changes due to the Constitutional Court’s latest ruling, Number 168/PUU-XXI/2023, on the Omnibus Job Creation Law, issued on October 15, 2024 (“Constitutional Court”). Originally enacted on November 2, 2020, the Job Creation Law was designed to simplify Indonesia’s regulatory environment, stimulate economic growth, and attract foreign investment. However, the law has seen multiple revisions, most recently in Law No. 6 of 2023, which formalized Government Regulation instead of Law Number 2 of 2022 on Job Creation (“Job Creation Law”). This version has now been revised again following the latest Constitutional Court ruling, which also impacts Indonesia’s workforce.
