Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: August 1996 Personnel management and incentive systems help firms establish a comparative advantage. Pay scales and hiring, firing and promotion decisions are central to competitive strategy. Ideally, labor regulations should facilitate voluntary agreements between employers and workers, helping reduce transaction costs. Since the mid-1980s, deregulation has proceeded rapidly in Indonesia. Employment opportunities, the capacity to generate income, and the opportunity to negotiate better working conditions have all expanded. Still, many Indonesians have voiced concern that workers have not shared enough in the benefits of economic development. Many hold the view that increasing the minimum wage would bring the bottom wages up and reduce wage differentials. Additionally, international agencies such as the International Labour Organisation and representatives of the U.S. government have criticized Indonesia for violations of labor standards. In response, the Indonesian government increased workers' statutory rights and removed obstacles to collective bargaining. Real minimum wages doubled between 1988 and 1995. Enforcement of regulations toughened. While in earlier periods statutory rights applied to a minority in the public sector, the expansion of manufacturing employment has broadened the coverage of these statutes, requiring the Ministry of Manpower to perform the nearly impossible task of enforcing them. Now the government should close the gap between statutory rights and voluntarily agreed-on working conditions. This means correcting the legal standards and reducing government intervention in labor disputes. Current labor regulations in Indonesia inhibit constructive discourse between workers and employers in three areas: dismissals, dispute resolution mechanisms, and contributions to social security. More appropriate legislative action, which also takes into account the role of other agencies is needed in two areas: job safety and child labor. Personnel management and incentive structures help firms establish a comparative advantage. Pay scales and hiring, firing and promotion decisions are central to performance evaluation and competitive strategy. Individual and collective bargaining is at the heart of labor-management relations in modern enterprises, and industrial action (or the real threat of it) is generally part of negotiation strategy. Inviting public intervention rather than allowing such mechanisms as strikes and lockouts to operate isolates negotiations from market conditions. Ideally, labor regulations should facilitate voluntary agreements between employers and workers, helping reduce transaction costs. They often do the opposite -- and also discourage the creation of jobs. Keeping Indonesia's economy competitive requires a system of industrial relations that relies on voluntary negotiations of wages and working conditions. The tasks workers perform and the employers for whom they perform them must be subject to change. This process is a normal feature of healthy labor markets. This paper -- a product of the Poverty and Social Policy Department -- is part of a larger study of the labor market in Indonesia undertaken by East Asia and Pacific, Country Department III. It was presented at a joint Ministry of Manpower-World Bank workshop, Indonesian Workers in the 21st Century, Jakarta, April 2-4, 1996.

Labour law in Indonesia has developed rapidly in recent years. There are special challenges in the labour law reform process in Indonesia because of the current state of the laws and institutions, the fundamental and far-reaching nature of the reforms proposed and the need to consult widely about the reforms and to ensure that they have support from key groups in society.
