Indonesia’s Labour Law & Employment Regulations

For employers operating in Indonesia, 2026 brings a renewed focus on worker protection, employment compliance and tighter regulatory oversight.

New and updated regulations are strengthening employer responsibilities across outsourcing, termination, labour inspection and worker protection. At the same time, increased enforcement around expatriate work authorisation highlights the importance of aligning employment, immigration, payroll and tax requirements from the very beginning of an overseas assignment.

For HR and business leaders, the message is clear: compliance can no longer be managed in silos. Employment contracts, payroll, statutory contributions, tax and immigration need to operate as part of one coordinated framework.
