Jakarta, CNN Indonesia –

Lead Attorney Hotman paris gave his opinion to President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) related to the resolution of business disputes and severance pay work. This entry is the tail of the problem of the rejection of the Omnibus Copyright Law (Ciptaker Law).

This was broadcast by Hotman through uploads on his personal Instagram, @hotmanparisofficial on Sunday (11/10). He said that basically the government must issue a law on the duration of the resolution of severance pay disputes in court within 30 days.

The reason is that, in Hotman’s experience, it takes 1 to 2 years to complete an employment case regarding severance pay. This duration is the process of completing a worker case that is reported to the Ministry of Manpower, then to the labor court, to the Supreme Court (MA).

According to him, the process was quite slow and laborious.

“If a worker’s salary is only 2 to 3 million rupees, how can you finance such a long case against employers? That is why, for a law like the Commercial Court, labor agreement cases, especially those related to severance pay must be resolved within 30 days as decided by the Commercial Court. 60 days though trillions of rupees, “Hotman said, cited CNNIndonesia.com on Monday (12/10).

The policy on the duration of this dispute resolution, according to Hotman, is quite common in the field of law. In fact, according to him, this was once a contribution from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to the government when it issued the Bankruptcy Law during the 1998 currency crisis.

“Dear Mr. Jokowi, my Honorable President, at the time of the 1998 currency crisis, at the behest of the IMF, enact the Bankruptcy Law, which regulates bankruptcy cases although trillions of rupees, but must be decided by the court, must be decided in 30 days. Then, change to 60 days., even the case of the fall of the PKPU debt, must be decided in 20 days and so far it has worked well, “he explained.

For this reason, Hotman suggested that Jokowi consider issuing a rule on the duration of the termination of the severance pay case. He also admitted that he was willing if Jokowi needed direct information with him at the Presidential Palace.

“I am ready to come to the Palace to provide information to the president regarding judicial practice, especially the labor court, because it takes a long time from the Ministry of Manpower to the Supreme Court for workers whose wages are only Rp. 2-3 million, the compensation is small, can not pay the case, “he said. .

Previously, the issue of severance pay had become a public concern since DPR passed the Ciptaker Act on Monday (10/5). Workers are concerned that employers will reduce their severance pay rights.
