Abstract

The large number of workers in the scope of Domestic Workers should receive more attention. Domestic Workers should be included in formal sector workers who are protected by the provisions of the law. The living and working situations of domestic workers do not reflect workers at all. Domestic workers in carrying out their work are included in jobs that do not have legal norms like formal workers regulated in the UUK so that their rights as workers are neglected. There are no special regulations on domestic workers so that it is considered necessary to protect domestic workers and make regulations on the protection of domestic workers as the basis for Permenaker Number 2 of 2015 concerning the Protection of Domestic Workers. The research method uses normative legal research. The results of the study show that the government issued Permenaker No. 2 of 2015 concerning the Protection of Domestic Workers. But the regulation still has shortcomings. Minister of Manpower Regulation Number 2 of 2015 has included the rights of domestic workers in Article 7 and the obligations of domestic workers in Article 8. In addition, Article 5 of this regulation also stipulates that the parties must reach a written or verbal agreement, which reads "Employers and domestic workers are required to make a written or verbal work agreement that contains rights and obligations and can be understood by both parties and is known by the head of the Neighborhood Association or by another name". Basically, the existence of domestic workers in working is not much different from other workers. Domestic workers should be treated the same as other workers. Various civil rights of workers which are basic rights of workers (normative rights, such as wage protection, working hours, holiday allowances, social security for workers, compensation for termination of employment and rest/leave rights) apply to workers in general and should be applied to domestic workers.
