JAKARTA - The government will limit outsourced work in Government Regulations in Lieu of Law (Perppu) on Job Creation.

The Director General of Industrial Relations and Employment Social Security (PHI-Jamsos) of the Ministry of Manpower (Kemnaker) Indah Anggoro Putri said that the Job Creation Law does not regulate restrictions on types of work that can be transferred or outsourced.

"The implementation of the transfer of power can be carried out openly for all types of work in a production process. That is in the Job Creation Law. Then, this Perppu regulates restrictions on the type of work," he said at a press conference, Friday, January 6.

Indah explained that the reason for the revision of the transfer arrangements was to provide opportunities and opportunities for workers as permanent workers or indefinite work agreements (PKWTT).

"So there is certainty. If it is too opened as in the CK Law, entrepreneurs will continue to outsource, while in this Perppu we have started to limit. So there is certainty for workers to get jobs that are PKWTT or permanent," he said.

Indah also denied the issue of the transfer of power that would be opened as widely as possible. He made sure it was not true.

Indah said that the types of out-of-power work will be regulated and explained in the revision of Government Regulation (PP) number 35 of 2021 concerning Number 35 of 2021 concerning Work Agreements for Certain Time, Transfer of Power, Working Time and Rest Time, and Termination of Work Relations (PHK).

"This job creation Perppu regulates that the transfer of power is limited to only one part of the implementation of work whose type of work will be determined further in government regulations or PP," he said.

The regulation of power transfer workers is regulated in Article 64 of the Manpower Cluster of the Job Creation Perppu.

Previously in the Job Creation Law there were no restrictions on the type of work that was transferred.
