This study discusses the legal protection for contract workers in Indonesia, which has become increasingly important as the use of contract work systems grows. Although various regulations have been implemented, such as Law No. 13 of 2003 on Manpower and Government Regulation No. 35 of 2021, practice in the field shows gaps in the application of contract workers' rights. This study uses a descriptive qualitative method by gathering data from various literature studies. The results indicate that contract workers often do not receive their full rights, including fair wages, social benefits, and health insurance, due to weak oversight, a lack of understanding among workers about their rights, and non-compliance by companies with applicable regulations. This article identifies several key challenges, such as discrepancies in the interpretation of regulations between central and regional authorities, as well as companies' practices that violate legal provisions. Therefore, there is a need for enhanced supervision, increased worker awareness, and stricter law enforcement to ensure more effective protection for contract workers. The findings are expected to contribute to the development of labor policies in Indonesia that are more supportive of the welfare of contract workers.

This research examines legal protection of workers' rights in Indonesia. This study uses a qualitative and normative approach, analyzing applicable labor law. Even though Indonesia has a comprehensive legal framework, there is still a gap between regulation and implementation. This research identifies three main aspects of legal protection: economic, social, and technical. This study also found barriers to implementation, including regulatory factors, culture and company capabilities. This research recommends the government's active role in improving regulations, supervision and law enforcement, as well as building awareness of all parties regarding the responsibilities and roles of individuals in building harmonious and just industrial relations

Labour law reform in Indonesia is a strategic step to create welfare for workers in the face of the challenges of globalization and an ever-evolving labour market. With the fast-paced changes in the work environment, along with globalization and technological advancements, it is important to make regulatory adjustments that can effectively protect workers' rights while also considering the needs of employers. This research takes a closer look at the importance of labor law reform in Indonesia, particularly focusing on improving workers' welfare. We use normative legal research methods with statutory and conceptual approaches.  The data we collected included relevant laws regarding labor, legal literature, and official documents.  The results show that several aspects of labor law in Indonesia still need to be reformed, including the wage system, social security, protection of contract and outsourced workers, and industrial relations dispute resolution mechanisms. We hope that these reforms will pave the way for a more equitable, responsive and adaptable labor law system that can truly improve workers' welfare in a sustainable manner
