Keywords:
Working Hours, Employment Law, Roscoe Theory PoundAbstract
This paper aims to analyze how the regulation of working hours in Law No. 13 of 2003 concerning Manpower reflects the principle of balance of interests according to Roscoe Pound and evaluate the relevance of regulations in the context of technological developments and digitalization in the workplace. This study uses a normative legal approach with an analysis of relevant laws and regulations and literature
studies to evaluate the implementation of working hours in the digital era. The results of the analysis show that although Law No. 13/2003 regulates working hours clearly, the implementation of these regulations often involves violations, especially in digital-based industries that do not have strict working time limits. Furthermore, Pound's theory emphasizes the balance of interests between workers and employers, which is a challenge in implementing laws amidst technological developments. This paper recommends the need to adjust employment regulations to be more responsive to the needs of the modern workforce and to address the challenges arising from the digitalization of the workplace.
