(2) How is the legal protection for workers/labourers who are not registered in the Work Accident Guarantee Program.

The research is a type of legal research using normative legal research methods which is analyze through statute approach, conceptual approach, and historical approach.

The result of this research shows that, Employers who do not register their workers in the Work Accident Guarantee Program (JKK) will receive administrative sanctions, either in the form of fines, written warnings, or not receiving certain public services. The rights of workers who experience work accidents both from the cost of transportation, care, and treatment, as well as wages for not being able to do work are the responsibility of the employer. In addition, since starting to work, the worker concerned can also register himself in the Work Accident Guarantee Program (JKK) and charge the employer with the collection of contributions.
