Abstract

Inequality between the rights of women and men workers is still very real, with frequent violations of the maternity rights of women workers. Some companies still violate these rights, such as prohibiting pregnancy, providing health services that favour men and employers, and issues related to women's reproductive organs. Although rights such as menstrual leave, maternity leave, and breastfeeding leave are stipulated in Law No. 13/2003, women workers often experience difficulties in applying for leave in accordance with their rights in the workplace. Companies use the excuse that the employment contract agreement that has been agreed upon by both parties does not bind the company to grant leave in accordance with the rights of female workers. This research aims to analyse the rights of female workers in collective bargaining agreements by referring to the rules in Law Number 13 Year 2003 on Manpower. In addition, this research also examines the legal implications in the event of default from one or both parties. The approach method used is the Normative Approach, examining the law as a norm that applies in society by using library materials or relevant secondary data. This research is expected to clarify the obligations and rights of female workers as well as the legal consequences in the event of a violation or default in the employment agreement. The results show that breach of the employment contract is a civil law problem that can be resolved administratively with the payment of compensation, but this has the potential to sacrifice the continuity of employment of employees in the company.
