Mekanisme Pengawasan dan Tantangan Implementasi UU PPRT di Ranah Privat: Tinjauan Teori Perlindungan Hukum
Abstract
The enactment of Law No. 2 of 2026 on the Protection of Domestic Workers (PPRT Law) marks a significant step toward providing legal certainty for domestic workers in Indonesia. However, a notable gap persists between statutory provisions and ground realities due to the inherently closed nature of household spaces. This study aims to examine the functioning of the law’s supervision mechanisms and identify obstacles in implementing employment contracts within domestic settings. Employing normative legal research and analyzing policy documents (2022–2026), the study finds that the PPRT Law’s effectiveness remains constrained by workers’ weak bargaining power, the absence of standardized employment contracts, and the cultural perception of households as private domains exempt from external oversight. A critical limitation is that the designed supervision mechanisms struggle to detect violations occurring behind closed doors. Consequently, legal protection tends to operate reactively after rights are infringed, rather than preventively. To ensure substantive protection, concrete measures are required, including the issuance of standardized contract guidelines and structured training for community-level mediators (RT/RW).
