Abstract

This study analyses the legal aspects of employment in start-up companies, including issues of employment contracts, protection of workers' rights, and the implementation of flexible working regulations. Using normative legal methods and qualitative literature synthesis, it is explained that the Manpower Act, Job Creation and its derivative regulations have provided a legal basis for startups to implement modern work patterns while still prioritizing worker protection. The main findings include potential contract violations due to informal work culture, challenges in implementing BPJS, and a lack of legal education in the startup environment. The enforcement of workers' rights to minimum wages, social security, working hour structures, and the right to unionize are important issues that need to be continuously monitored by the government and industry players. This study recommends standardizing employment contracts, digitizing administration, and active collaboration between the government, startups, and workers to create a fair and sustainable startup employment ecosystem.
