Employment
Overview
Navigating Indonesia’s stringent labour laws poses a challenge for businesses. At AHP, we handle a wide array of employment issues, including contract disputes, wage discrepancies, wrongful termination, and labour union matters. Our approach is client-centric, where we collaborate closely with our clients to comprehend their industry, anticipate risks, and ensure compliance with the intricate regulations governing employment.
Serving top employers in the country, we offer assistance in drafting employment contracts, managing outsourcing arrangements, addressing redundancy concerns, and more, with a particular focus on compliance, especially regarding expatriate hires. Our expertise spans the entire spectrum of employment law, from establishing employment relationships to corporate restructuring. In challenging scenarios, our Employment team seamlessly coordinates with our Dispute Resolution team to efficiently resolve conflicts through mediation, court proceedings, or arbitration.
