Abstract

One of the principles of the rule of law is the protection of human rights, especially the right to get a job. Work is something that all people need, by working can meet the needs of life. In the current era, special education or skills are required to get an appointment with a good position and a large salary, so people with low education cannot reach decent jobs and wages. Few lower-class people, especially women and minors, work as domestic workers. In Indonesia, there is no legal protection for domestic workers, so there is no legal certainty regarding the employment relationship. The Draft Law on the Protection of Domestic Workers has been completed from 2004 until now, and there is no seriousness for the Government of the Republic of Indonesia to pass the Draft Law on the Protection of Domestic Workers into Law. This study aims to determine the informal sector labor relations pattern among domestic workers in the Special Region of Yogyakarta. The type of research used is empirical juridical research using primary and secondary data, with the technique of concluding using deductive methods. The results showed that in the application of the informal sector labor relationship pattern to domestic work, there are still many who are categorized as violating human rights with a barometer of unsavory recruitment methods, illegal levies from domestic worker service delivery service companies, irregular working hours, workloads that are not following previous employment agreements, very minimal wages, so that it has an impact on the non-fulfillment of the needs of decent living for domestic workers and their families, and in addition to this labor relationship not only adversely affects workers but employers or employers also experience problems while hiring domestic workers, on this basis, the author recommends that the government together with the Pakyat Representative Council immediately pass the Draft Law on the Protection of Domestic Workers.
