Abstract

The low level of community education means that they can only work in jobs that suit their
abilities. Housework is one option that is quite easy for them to do. This is because household
chores are like the work they do everyday when they are at home. Legal protection for
workers/laborers is carried out so that the rights of workers/laborers are not violated by their
users, bearing in mind that in a working relationship, the positions of the parties are not equal.
Where workers/laborers are in a weak position both economically and socially, so that with this
weak position it is not uncommon for their rights to be violated. The existence of domestic workers
in the workplace, without legal protection, without supervision from the authorities, without job
descriptions, without regulations on working hours, without minimum wages, and without days off.
This is an unfavorable condition for domestic workers. The purpose of writing this thesis is to find
out the protection of housemaids, to find out the rights that are violated, and to find out what
responsibilities are given by the users of housemaids regarding the rights that are violated.
The type of research in this paper is sociological legal research, namely research on law
observing what are the characteristics of a community's behavior in an area in an aspect of social
life.

bad treatment from users of housemaids and their family members to housemaids, do not get
wages in accordance with the work agreement, do not get food, do not get leave rights, and get
