Penerapan Hak Cuti Melahirkan Bagi Pekerja Perempuan di Sektor Formal
Abstract: The Policy for Women
Labors in the Act No. 1 1951 states that women are not allowed to work 1,5 months
before and after bearing a child. However, up to the present time, its
implementation is not effective. Objective:This explorative research uses
quantitative and qualitative approach which objective is to observe the knowledge,
attitude and behavior of the woman labourers towards their right of child birth
leave. Method of his research is also aimed at observing the employers in
imlementing the child birth leave right of the woman labourers and the ralated
constraints of the practices. The qualitiative samples consist of 300
respondens of the woman labourers and the qualitative samples consist of 18
employers “Depnaker” staff, 18 SPSI members and 15 woman labourers. Instruments
for collecting data are questionaire and interviewguides. Qualitative data are analysed
by using frequency distribution while qualitative data are analysed by using
content analysis.
Result:The research results shows that the knowledge and attitude of the
woman labourers towards the rights of child birth leave are good enough.
However in practice it is not well implemented as that in the regulation, because
employers never give additional wages, such as pregnancy and childbirth
allowances despite their agreement to implement it.
Conclusion: Most employers are not consistent in implementing the right
of child birth leave. It can be seen from the fact that the implementation is
met only to each own company’s condition. Those who have had or are in the process
of having PKB for example are more consistent than those who have not.
Contraints of the implementation of childbirth leave are as follows: 1). Not
all employers well comprehend the right of child births leave, 2). The surveillance
and empowerment of Disnaker is not effective, 3) The law enforcement to the
employers who break the rules is very weak, and 4). The role of SPSI in giving
supervision is not yet significant.
