The Faculty of Law of the Universitas Islam Indonesia (UII) held a 2020 Coordination Meeting to Concepting Working Plan (Rakorja) on Sunday (27-09-2020). The UII FH Coordination Meeting 2020 this time carries the theme theme “Bertahan; Berbenah; Tumbuh; dalam Rangka Mencetak Lulusan FH Berintegritas dan Profesional (Defending; Clean up; Grow; in Order to Produce Faculty of Law’s Graduate with Integrity and Professional)”. Implementation of this Rakorja is different from previous years because it is carried out online. This is a reminder of the high number of cases of Covid-19 transmission in Indonesia. The implementation of this Rakorja was carried out in a hybrid manner from the Main Meeting Room, 3rd Floor of FH UII and was attended by around 25 people. Although many participants realized, the implementation of the Faculty of Law’s Rakorja 2020  was carried out in accordance with health protocols.

In his speech, the Dean of Faculty of Law UII, Assoc Professor Dr. Abdul Jamil, SH., MH., said that the implementation of this Rakorja had complied with the existing health protocols. Abdul Jamil, who is also the Chairperson of the UII Siaga Covid 19 Team, said that all coordination meetings paid attention to existing health protocols. “We have opened the windows, we have also opened the doors so that the air can circulate properly”, said Abdul Jamil.

The Rakorja was opened by the Rector of UII, Prof. Fathul Wahid, ST, M, Sc., Ph.D ,. In his remarks, Fathul Wahid praised the willingness of Faculty of Law UII lecturers to organize activities amidst the existing busy schedule. “This is proof that you are good people, because they volunteered for the meeting on Sunday,” said Fathul Wahid, responded with laughter from the participants.

According to Fathul Wahid, the pandemic condition is the main challenge for universities in Indonesia, including UII. “This pandemic condition has a tremendous impact. This condition will greatly affect our future policy direction”, he said. According to Fathul Wahid, many private universities could barely survive this pandemic. “Alhamdulillah, UII after doing the ‘belt tightening” managed to survive until it has a salary cash reserve of up to 12 months, “added Fathul Wahid optimistically.

Fathul Wahid conveyed that this pandemic condition should not be considered merely as an obstacle, but must also be seen as a momentum. This is the meaning of the UII’s Rakorja theme. “We have to quickly adapt,” said Fathul Wahid. The online learning system is one form of momentum referred to by Fathul Wahid. According to him, during the pandemic, UII has been ‘forced’ to develop a good online learning system. It is projected that this system will not continue to end after the pandemic is over, but will continue to be developed. The main objective is to increase the usefulness of UII’s existence in Indonesia. “I imagine if we can make online meetings permanent. It can also be used as a mixture of online and offline. ”, Said Fathul Wahid.

The Faculty of Law UII itself has an optimistic view in welcoming this Rakorja. According to Abdul Jamil, Faculty of Law of the UII will aim to have at least five professors in the next 2021 period. This was as conveyed by Abdul Jamil in his presentation of the 2021 FH UII Dean Work Program. “The 2021 target will be 5 professors,” said Abdul Jamil.

The implementation of the Faculty of Law’s Rakorja was carried out with strict health protocols. The organizing committee provides medical masks for all participants. “The Faculty of Law UII gives full concentration on how to maintain the health of the Faculty of Law UII civitas academica during the pandemic period,” said Abdul Jamil.

The pandemic and the social distancing policy did not prevent the Faculty of Law of the Universitas Islam Indonesia from continuing to work. FH UII held an Seminar on International Journal Publication, on Tuesday (07/28-2020), as a manifestation of the commitment to achieve acceleration professor program. This seminar is held in a hybrid, which is a combination of online and offline methods, with due regard to strict health protocols. The seminar was attended by lecturers through the Zoom application and guided by the committee directly from the VIP Conference Room, Faculty of Law, Universitas Islam Indonesia. This seminar presented speakers, namely Prof. Dr. Tulus Suryanto, S.E., M.M., A.kt., C.A., CMA., CERA., ACPA., And Yuli Andriansyah, S.E., M.Sc.

The event was opened by the Dean of Faculty of Laaw, Dr. Abdul Jamil, S.H., M.H. In his remarks, Dr. Abdul Jamil explained that this seminar was a form of Faculty of Law’s commitment in supporting and implementing the professor acceleration program for its lecturers. According to Dr. Abdul Jamil, the committee initially planned a two-day offline training activity for lecturers. However, a pandemic outbreak forced these activities to not be carried out. Instead of being fully cancelled, Faculty of Law remains committed to carrying out activities in different forms and concepts, through seminars that utilize a hybrid system.

Dr. Abdul Jamil himself gave remarks and opened the event directly from his office in the Faculty of Law Building. Even though the committee was in one building, the number of people in the room was taken into consideration in the holding of this seminar. “We limit the number of participants (in the room), up to five people,” explained the Head of the Organizing Team, Dodik Setiawan Nur Heriyanto, S.H., M.H. Faculty of Law itself still applies policies to work and lectures from home. However, the enthusiasm of the lecturers in participating in this activity seemed unshakeable. The seminar was attended by dozens of FH UII lecturers through the Zoom Meeting Platform.

The first speaker, Prof. Tulus Suryanto gave his material presentation on tips on how to publish in internationally reputable journals. Through Zoom from Lampung, Prof. Tulus Suryanto explained how important research and publications are for lecturers. According to him, research and publications are common in the academic world, even before someone becomes a lecturer. However, lecturers often find it difficult to sort out the research that has been done. “Like we have a tree that has a lot of fruit, but we have difficulty to collect the fruits”. According to Prof. Tulus Suryanto, often lecturers assume that publication is the main thing. In fact, according to him, research is more important than publication. “Publication is the result of good research work, good research work is certainly accepted in good publications,” he said. According to him, the publication process is very important to maintain the scientific elements in a work. “Why should we publish it and why should it be in a reputable journal? Reputable journal publication is a scientific stage called peer review with scientific processes. This peer review is important through the stages of editing”, he said.

The second speaker, Yuli Andriansyah, explained more about the practice to participants: about the use of the Mendeley. Yuli Andriansyah practically provides training to lecturers on the use of Mendeley in manuscripts. Apparently, there are still many lecturers who do not know about Mendeley. Even though Universitas Islam Indonesia itself has subscribed to Mendeley as a facility for its civitas academia. “The Mendeley application has been subscribed to by Universitas Islam Indonesia so that it can have greater capacity and features,” said Yuli Andriansyah.

This hybrid seminar program was positively appreciated by the lecturers. However, this hybrid method is still considered less effective. The lecturers hope that in the future similar training can be held as a continuation of activities using the offline method. Of course, this can only be done if conditions return conducive. “Hopefully the pandemic will end soon and the teaching and learning activities will return to normal,” Dodik Setiawan said.

According to him, first degree aggravated assault means as an intentional with plan to inflict great bodily harm to someone resulted in injury or permanent disfigurement. Adnan Wirawan discussed the parties that convened in the case. Scientifically, Adnan Wirawan criticized the act of appointing legal counsel for the defendants, Ronny Bugis and Rahmat Kadir, Inspector General Rudi Heriyanto.

The government needs various steps to form a Joint Fact-Finding Team (TGPF) to conduct an investigation. According to Muhammad Fatahillah, the Novel Baswedan case is not the only case that occurs justice delay. There are many cases of this kind in Indonesia when it involves violations by police officers.

INDONESIA — juga sekitar 200 negara lain — menghadapi ancaman global pandemi corona virus disease 2019 (Covid-19). Bukan hanya dampak kesehatan, namun seluruh sektor termasuk perburuhan di Indonesia, terkena dampak. Kebijakan work from home ( WFH) tentu berpengaruh terhadap kondisi jalannya suatu usaha yang juga berdampak pada situasi perburuhan di lapangan. Bahkan kebijakan dan imbauan pemerintah untuk WFH dan social distancing juga tidak serta merta dapat dilaksanakan sepenuhnya. Pada jenis-jenis pekerjaan tertentu yang membutuhkan kontinuitas dalam proses produksinya.

Pandemi menyerang berbagai lini kehidupan. Di Indonesia, roda perekonomian semakin melambat, permintaan akan barang dan jasa di masyarakat tentu berkurang yang berimbas pada menurunnya faktor produksi. Permintaan yang menurun tentu mempengaruhi modal yang pasti angkanya mengalami penurunan secara signifikan. Tenaga kerja sebagai motor penggerak dalam proses produksi keberadaannya semakin lemah. Karena dampak dari pandemi bermuara pada ketidakmampuan pemberi kerja dalam membayar upah dalam kondisi pandemi.

Tanggal 17 Maret 2020 Menteri Ketenagakerjaan Republik Indonesia mengeluarkan Surat Edaran Nomor M/3/HK.04/III/2020 tentang Perlindungan Pekerja/Buruh dan Kelangsungan Usaha dalam Rangka Pencegahan dan Penanggulangan Covid-19. Pada intinya berisi pencegahan penyebaran dan penanganan Covid-19 di lingkungan kerja
serta pelindungan pengupahan bagi pekerja dalam kondisi pandemi. SE tersebut sejalan dengan Pasal 93 ayat (2) Undang-Undang Nomor 13 Tahun 2003 tentang Ketenagakerjaan (UUK) tepatnya Pasal 93. Bahwasanya pengusaha tetap diberi kewajiban membayar upah dalam hal pekerja sakit sehingga tidak dapat melakukan pekerjaan.
Namun dalam situasi yang berkembang saat ini, terjadi peningkatan Pemutusan Hubungan Kerja (PHK) yang dilakukan secara sepihak oleh pengusaha karena ketidakmampuan membayar upah pekerja. Pekerja tidak dapat menuntut banyak karena situasi dan kondisi dalam ketidakjelasan kapan berakhir. Dampak dari PHK sepihak ini semakin meningkatkan jumlah pengangguran di Indonesia. Tak ghanya pada sektor formal, dampak pandemi ini sangat dirasakan pekerja informal yang notabene tidak memiliki hubungan dengan siapapun.

Tak kalah mirisnya kondisi pekerja informal yang semakin lesu dari hari ke hari sejak di berlakukannya WFH dan imbauan social distancing. Bagi pengemudi ojek, hanya satu dua orang atau bahkan sama sekali tidak ada penumpang. Bagi pemilik warung makan, hiruk-pikuk pembeli di warung makan sudah tidak ada lagi. Setiap harinya berusaha mengurangi porsi jualan yang berujung pada tutupnya warung makan, padahal di satu sisi uang kontrakan warung harus tetap dibayar. Penjual-penjual kecil yang menjajakan dagangannya di tempat wisata ternyata tidak ada lagi wisatawan yang menyambanginya. Sungguh pemandangan yang membuat trenyuh.

Relasi perburuhan Indonesia melibatkan pemerintah di dalamnya, terutama dalam kondisi pandemi seperti saat ini. Dalam Pembukaan Undang-Undang Dasar Negara Republik Indonesia 1945 disebutkan bahwasanya pemerintah memiliki kewajiban untuk melindungi segenap Bangsa Indonesia dan menjaminkan kesejahteraan bagi rakyat Indonesia. Sejauh mana peran pemerintah dalam relasi perburuhan dalam situasi seperti sekarang ini? Menjadi tanda tanya besar melihat kondisi perburuhan di lapangan yang semakin tak menentu.

Saat ini yang dibutuhkan para pekerja di Indonesia adalah jaminan kesejahteraan berupa terpenuhinya kebutuhan sehari-hari, obat-obatan serta kemudahan memperoleh fasilitas kesehatan. Pascapandemi ini berakhir diharapkan akan ada jaminan bagi pekerja untuk mempertahankan pekerjaan serta memperoleh pekerjaan (kembali) guna keberlangsungan hidup pekerja dan keluarganya. Suatu harapan besar masyarakat Indonesia khususnya pekerja di Indonesia tentang langkah tegas pemerintah dalam menghadapi permasalahan ini. Ada hak-hak pekerja yang perlu diperhatikan dan dilindungi pemerintah sebagai pemangku kewajiban perlindungan pekerja dalam relasi perburuhan di Indonesia.

The spread of pandemic decease, COVID-19, enforce all public and private sectors to prevent meetup and contact of mass people or public activity as well as Universitas Islam Indonesia (UII). As follow the Rector Circular Number 1048/Rek/10/SP/III/2020, all regular class are conducted by using online platforms. The online learning is now extended to 7th June 2020 as part of the tight mitigation prevention measures.

Based on Rector Circular, all of the lectures will be held online. So do the Faculty of Law, all regular lecture will be held using online platforms, like Zoom and Google Meet.

However, it is inevitably, the ability to master technology by some teaching staff and the lecturer is not evenly distributed. So, the Faculty of Law UII conducts a Workshop of Online Learning System by Utilizing Zoom and Google Hangout Meet Platform for lecturers. “Recently, lecturers at the Faculty of Law UII only familiar with google classroom, one of the online platforms from google besides the Google Hangout Meet. Therefore, training is needed to introduce the use of the application to lecturers and teaching staff to enhance the effectiveness of learning using Zoom”, said the Head of Committee, Dodik Setiawan Nur Heriyanto, SH., MH., LLM., Ph.D.

Due to the implementation of the Rector’s policy in the prevention of the COVID-19 at the university area, the tutorial was held by an online meeting using Zoom and Google Hangout Meeting platforms. “All of the participants are lecturers of the Faculty of Law. The content of the materials itself consists of how to manage Zoom and Google Hangout Meet for online lecture, and the student’s attendance status at google classroom”, said Dodik Setiawan.

AWAL 2020 mencuat kabar adanya mogok kerja yang dilakukan pekerja PT AFI, produsen es krim. Aksi dilakukan karena beberapa hal. Di antaranya tahun 2019 ada tingkat keguguran dan kematian bayi sebanyak kurang lebih 20 kasus. Mencuatnya kembali kasus terkait tidak terpenuhinya alat-alat keselamatan dan kesehatan kerja di perusahaan. Serta terlalu ketatnya waktu kerja yang terbagi atas shift. Padahal, 2017 menjadi saksi bisu mogok kerja yang dilakukan perusahaan tersebut. Karena banyaknya jumlah pekerja yang mengalami kecelakaan kerja akibat tidak diberikannya alat-alat keselamatan kerja dalam bekerja.

Sebagaimana diatur Pasal 78 Undang-Undang Nomor 13 Tahun 2003 tentang Ketenagakerjaan atau yang lebih dikenal dengan UUK, buruh yang sedang hamil dilarang untuk dipekerjakan pada shift malam. Hal ini berkaitan dengan kondisi kesehatan. Sebab perempuan hamil membutuhkan perhatian yang lebih terkait dengan kondisi kesehatannya. Ini terkait ada janin yang sedang tumbuh di dalam rahimnya.

Regulasi Perburuhan

Wacana pemerintah untuk membuat regulasi dengan mekanisme omnibus law dengan salah satu RUU yang masuk adalah RUU Cipta Kerja, bertentangan dengan kondisi perburuhan Indonesia saat ini. Jika benar nantinya RUU Cipta Kerja ini disahkan, tak ada lagi tempat buruh menaikkan posisi tawarnya di depan pengusaha. Selain posisi pemerintah lemah pada regulasi ini, RUU Cipta Kerja menghapus sanksi pidana bagi pengusaha.

Jika pembiaran terhadap ketidakadilan ada di lapangan, apakah efektif sebuah regulasi disusun dengan posisi berat sebelah? Belum diberlakukan RUU tersebut, ternyata masih ada kondisi perburuhan yang masih jauh dari kata adil dan sejahtera. Bagaimana jika benar adanya RUU itu nantinya disahkan? Keseimbangan posisi antara buruh dan pengusaha dalam perjanjian kerja hanyalah semu belaka.

Sejatinya, buruh bekerja untuk memperoleh penghidupan yang layak demi menyejahterakan keluarganya. Hanya saja, praktik di lapangan dalam bekerja, tujuan buruh untuk mencapai kedua tujuan tersebut masih ada yang mengalami kesukaran. Dalam proses ini sangat diperlukan itikad baik dari pengusaha dalam memberi kerja serta kesadaran pengusaha akan tujuan Hubungan Industrial Indonesia yang sejalan dengan Pasal 27 ayat (2) Undang-Undang Dasar NRI Tahun 1945 yaitu Warga Negara Indonesia berhak untuk memperoleh pekerjaan dan penghidupan yang layak.

Perempuan Buruh

Bukan kali pertama di Indonesia permasalahan perempuan buruh terenggut haknya untuk hamil dan melahirkan secara damai. Angan-angan menimang anak seketika runtuh dengan berbagai kondisi kerja yang dialami sehingga harus mengikhlaskan kehilangan janin dan bayi. Perempuan memang tidak memiliki kedudukan utama sebagai pencari nafkah dalam keluarga, namun ada kondisi-kondisi yang mengharuskan perempuan mengambil peranan untuk bekerja dan memperoleh penghasilan.

Dalam UUK ketentuan perlindungan bagi buruh perempuan yang melahirkan sudah tertera di sana dengan sangat jelas. Perlindungan sebagaimana dimaksud dalam Pasal 82 ayat (1) UUK yang menyebutkan bahwasanya buruh perempuan memiliki hak istirahat melahirkan selama 3 bulan, kemudian berlanjut pada kewajiban pengusaha untuk mengikutsertakan pekerjanya pada jaminan sosial di mana berkaitan erat dengan cakupan biaya melahirkan. Selain itu berlanjut pada hak si jabang bayi berupa tunjangan anak yang juga menjadi komponen gaji yang berhak didapatkan buruh tersebut.

Kondisi itukah yang melatarbelakangi pengusaha memberikan beban kerja yang semakin berat pada buruh perempuan yang hamil sehingga mengakibatkan kematian janin dan bayi dalam kandungan, demi menghindari tumpukan kewajiban-kewajiban bagi pengusaha yang berdampak pada kondisi keuangan perusahaan? Bukankah Indonesia telah mengatur dengan indahnya dalam hitam di atas putihnya pada Pasal 28A UUD NRI 1945 tentang jaminan hak hidup warga negara?

The advancement of industry and trade has demanded the business world in many sectors to continue to develop, one of which is the legal practitioners. The Corporate Lawyer profession is a ‘rising profession’ due to the development of the business world.

To answer the students’ thirst, the Faculty of Law at the Islamic University of Indonesia (UII) held a Guest Lecture entitled “Introducing on Corporate Lawyering”, on Thursday, March 12, 2020. The guest lecturers brought in were Corporate Lawyer practitioners from one of the national law firms, Assegaf Hamzah and Partners (AHP). They are Bono Daru Adji S.H., L.LM., and M. Insan Pratama, S.IP., S.H., L.LM., managing partners and senior associates at AHP.

The Guest Lecture was opened by Secretary of the International Undergraduate Program Faculty of Law UII, Dodik Setiawan Nur Heriyanto, S.H., M.H., L.LM., Ph.D. In his remarks, Dodik Setiawan emphasized to the participants to be able to take valuable learning from the event. Therefore, business competition has increasingly developed in the digital age. Whereas the young generation has many advantages because they are accustomed to digital technology in their daily lives.

This Guest Lecture Program: Introducing the Corporate Lawyering was moderated by Rahadian Diffaul Barraq Suwartono, SH. The event was held in the Audio Visual Room, Faculty of Law, Indonesian Islamic University and attended by students and lecturers.

In their material, Bono Daru Adji and Insan Pratama explained what corporate lawyers are. According to Bono, a lawyer currently does not merely work in court. But, there is also the profession of a lawyer who is in charge of carrying out many legal actions for companies, known as corporate lawyers. As a legal practitioner, a corporate lawyer must be broad-minded. “A corporate lawyer is partly an engineer, partly a banker and mostly a lawyer,” Insan explained. Meaning, a corporate lawyer must study various aspects of scientific disciplines, such as economics and engineering, in addition to legal disciplines. Because, a corporate lawyer is a determinant of whether a company’s business agreement will take place or not.

In addition to introducing the profession of corporate lawyers, Bono and Insan also introduced how a career in a law firm. Insan, who is a Faculty of Law UII alumnae, introduced the recruitment scheme in AHP. According to him, students should not only be satisfied with knowledge in the classroom but also must develop themselves. Social activities, verbal communication skills, and dexterity are the capital of a corporate lawyer.

The Guest Lecture program was attended by around 50 students and was broadcast live through the Faculty of Law UII’s YouTube channel. While lecture material can be accessed openly at the link http://bit.ly/CLUII.
