Abstract

Workforce is an important part of a company, without which the company cannot function. Based on regulations, the
workforce is governed by an employment agreement system which is divided into fixed-term employment
agreements (PKWT) and indefinite-term employment agreements (PKWTT). Further regulations regarding fixedterm employment agreements are stipulated in Article 56 and 57 of Law No. 13 of 2003 on employment. Based on
these regulations, it is known that a fixed-term employment agreement (PKWT) must be made in writing and must
use the Indonesian language and Latin letters. However, in practice, there are still business operators who employ
workers without complying with the existing regulations. A dispute arose between PT. SRIKANDI INTI LESTARI as
the employer and the workers named Sentosa, Sukardi Oloan, Sholikin, Tumpal Marsaor Pangihutan, Baos Albert
Silalahi, Akhiar, Nurwedi, and Arse, who are employees working at PT. SRIKANDI INTI LESTARI. It was found that
the workers worked under a contract status as fixed-term employees (PKWT) continuously and sustainably for more
than 3 (three) years without any break. Among the employment contracts, some of them were not made in writing,
but were only agreed upon orally.
