Revitalization of Mandatory Employment Reporting to Support Implementation of Labor Inspection

Abstract

Employers are obliged to report on labor conditions in their companies periodically. The data from this report is the primary source of data in organizing labor inspection. However, there are only so many companies that fulfill their obligations. This situation indeed correlates with the availability of valid labor data. This study aims to analyze the implementation of mandatory labor reporting in companies and the importance of revitalizing mandatory labor reporting in companies concerning the implementation of labor inspection. The approach used is a socio-legal approach. The results show that the implementation of mandatory labor reporting has yet to provide maximum results. Many employers still prefer to carry out their obligations to report on labor conditions in their companies. Therefore, it is necessary to revitalize mandatory labor reporting in companies by reformulating administrative sanctions, improving the socialization system with priority-based counseling and mentoring, and changing the mindset of entrepreneurs by providing tangible benefits.
