Regulation, Leave Rights, Female Workers, World of WorkAbstract
The purpose of this study is to see from a juridical point of view how the leave rights of female workers in the world of work are regulated and to what extent these regulations reflect the principle of justice. Female workers have different biological and social needs, including menstruation, pregnancy, childbirth, and miscarriage, which require special legal protection. The normative legal research method is used in this research; it utilizes statutory and conceptual approaches and is supported by primary and secondary legal materials. The results show that several laws, such as Law No. 13 of 2003 on Manpower, Law No. 11 of 2020 on Job Creation, and Law No. 4 of 2024 on Maternal and Child Welfare, regulate women workers' leave rights. However, in real life, leave rights are often faced with challenges such as burdensome administrative requirements, lack of supervision, and gender-based discrimination. These conditions often lead to women workers' rights not being properly fulfilled. This research recommends strengthening the law and supervision to ensure leave entitlements are properly utilized. In addition, this research encourages the establishment of humane and equitable industrial relations. Women workers' leave rights must be legally protected. This is part of respecting human rights and the principle of gender equality in the workplace.
