The lawyer for the reporter from LBH Legal Aid House, Amsori, explained his client's reason for visiting the South Jakarta Metro Police. The goal is to fulfill a call regarding the report he made

"So today's agenda, we go to investigators in order to add news of the examination event related to several witnesses, who took a long time from 2019," Amsori told reporters at the South Jakarta Metro Police, Thursday, February 9.

He said that currently the report submitted by Yuma Karim has gone up to the investigation level.

"Two more reports are still in the investigation stage," he said.

On his occasion, he explained the basis of the problem from his report, namely related, the reported detained the diploma of employees who had resigned from the company. As a result, the victim has difficulty finding work in other companies.

"Therefore, it has resulted in our client being harmed in finding job opportunities so that several company offices have asked for his diploma to be detained until now," said Amsori.

Meanwhile, the reporter named Yuma Karim revealed a number of alleged labor violations committed by the law office.

He said the employees were told to work beyond the time limit set in the Specific Time Work Agreement (PKWT).

"So, we suspect that the working culture is above average, outside the agreement. Then we are all told to go home according to the agreement, we have to work more than working hours, even on holidays," said Yuma.

"Then you don't necessarily get overtime wages. Even if you get overtime wages, it's really far below the law, like that. Therefore, it's not immediately a form of exploitation," he added.

In fact, continued Yuma, some employees were even summoned and reported to the police on fabricated charges.

"There were also victims who were reported by the police, instead they were subpoenaed to their parents," he said.

Another reporter, Ivan Lazuardi, said that the reported party asked for costs of tens to hundreds of millions of rupiah so that the victim could redeem his detained diploma.

"Generally, when referring to the Manpower Act, where in the work agreement there is a PKWT. Say we work for one year, if we default for three months we pay 9 months with one month of overtime pay. (Asked) from tens to hundreds of millions that I know," said Ivan.

On the other hand, Amsori appealed to former employees who also experienced a similar fate not to hesitate to report.
