Over the years, the business landscape in Indonesia continues to
be ever-changing. Given this, Indonesian companies are sometimes
required to transform or restructure its business operations which
will directly impact its workforce. In practice, one of the
necessary actions is to transfer employees from one entity to
another, whether it is done within the same group or to another
group company altogether. Unfortunately, the terms of employment
transfer itself is not expressly governed under Indonesian laws up
to now. Unlike other countries which provide strict terms and
requirements on employment transfer, we as legal practitioners are
often relying on the requirements and limitations which are
indirectly imposed by the existing Indonesian manpower laws.
