According talk from Mr. Rosandy from Department of Labour, every people that
work at any private company should be know their contract to avoid they deceived by private
company. Contract can be divided by two categories such as contract of service and contract
for service. Contract of service is any agreement either from writing or listening among the
workers and the manager of company. In generally, the manager of company can control and
remove the workers from the company. For example, Faiz have one company, he want to hire
Faatihah to work for him. If Faatihah agree and sign all the agreement to work in the
company, that mean she already in contract of service. In generally, contract for service mean
the agreement from one contractor to other contractor. This contract has less control of
characteristic from the manager of company. For example, Faiz want to widen their company.
So, he want find other contractor to build the new building. Ayu is a contractor that Faiz
choose to widen their company. However, Faiz cannot be control Ayu to determine any
workers and any equipment that used to finish the new building.
From the both of example, Ayu and Faatihah should be understand their contract to
avoid they deceived by Faiz. If Ayu and Faatihah deceived by Faiz, they can refer and solve
their problem at Department of Labour, Department of industrial relationship and civil court.
However, only one department they can be chosen to solve their problem. Department of
Labour will responsible more to compensation. For Department of Industrial Relationship
more to the workers that want reinstatement. So, Ayu and Faatihah can choose any
department to solve their problem.
All the private company workers should be understood their contract and their
agreement to make sure the workers easy to solve their future problem. The workers also
should know the act that involve at the three departments. Other than solve problem for any
private company workers, Department of Labour also help people to find job especially for
fresh graduate. Mr. Rosandy said, more than 50 000 fresh graduate already get job at
