Employment Contract
Employment contract is a very important thing for prospective workers to check and understand before signing a work contract, because a work contract is a form of anticipation in reducing the risk of loss caused by both the worker and the employer. Following are several points of explanation regarding the importance of employment contracts.
What is an employment contract?
Employment contract is an agreement between a worker and an entrepreneur or employer that contains the terms and conditions of a work agreement that is valid according to labor law in Indonesia.The contract will contain the conditions, rights, and obligations of both the employee and the employer.Through this, you can find out the employee's work status, whether they are permanent or contract employees.
Why is an Employment Contract Important?
An employment contract is an important thing for workers to pay attention to when accepting work from an employer. So that everything is clear at the start, workers must carefully understand what is contained in the employment contract. The following are the reasons why employment contracts are important;
-
Explaining Employment Status
With an employment contract that contains clear provisions regarding the working period, a worker can clearly know whether his or her employment status is included as a permanent employee or not.
-
Clarifying the Rights of Employees and Employers
In the employment contract there are provisions regarding the rights that workers have, such as wage rights, leave rights, and other employment rights. Meanwhile, the employer in this case has the right to get the work results or performance he requires from the employee because he has provided wages during the working time. Thus, both workers and employers have limitations regarding their respective rights. If matters related to this right are not stated in the form of provisions in the work contract, there will be confusion in the work process.
-
Explain Company / Employer Rules
Some companies sometimes do not explain in detail the work rules they have and immediately bring the worker to work without telling them about the work rules. This will result in the employee being burdened with adaptation while he is working. For this reason, it is important to regulate work rules in a company to make it easier for workers and provide clear boundaries for both workers and employers.
-
Know the work position well
In the employment contract there are provisions regarding a worker's job desk, through this job desk the worker will know clearly what the duties and authorities are in their position.
-
Explaining About Wages
Wages in an employment contract are not only the basic wage, but there are several other wage components such as allowances (Health, Transportation, Old Age Allowance, etc.), overtime pay, wage deductions, etc. so that a worker can know clearly how much wages and other components they will receive.
These are several points of explanation regarding the importance of work contracts, so it is important for a prospective worker to ensure a clear and precise work contract before signing it to start work, because the work contract will provide legal protection, especially for both the worker and the employer.
What terms of an employment contract are considered valid?

A Specific Time Work Agreement (PKWT) is an agreement between an employee and an employer who wishes to enter into an employment relationship only for a certain period of time, which is usually used for certain jobs where the end time of the job can be predicted. PKWT is made in writing and registered with the employment service, and can only be valid for a maximum period of five years or until the work is completed. If the work in question has not been completed but the work contract has ended, the work contract can be extended in accordance with the agreement between the employer and employee for a period of no more than five years. Apart from that, at the end of the work period, the employer is obliged to provide compensation money to the worker. PKWT is based on the time period for completing certain work, and only for types of work that are completed at a certain time. Types of PKWT work include:-
Once completed work or temporary work

It is estimated that the completion of the work will not take long, a maximum of 3 (three) years
