Penyelesaian Sengketa Permohonan Penundaan Kewajiban Pembayaran Utang oleh Pekerja terhadap Perusahaan Yang Tidak Membayar Kewajibannya (Studi Putusan Nomor: 20/Pdt.Sus PKPU/2019/PN.Niaga.Mdn)

Abstract

This research is motivated by the frequent occurrence of problems involving workers who do not receive payment of normative rights such as wages and severance pay that should be paid by the company. In some cases, workers face difficulties in executing the Industrial Relations Court's decision regarding their rights that are not paid by the company. In response to this obstacle, some workers choose to file a request for Postponement of Debt Payment Obligations (PKPU) at the Commercial Court as an alternative to ensure that workers' rights are fulfilled. This study aims to determine and analyze the legal provisions for submitting a request for postponement of debt payment obligations, to determine and analyze the settlement of disputes in the Commercial Court between workers and companies that do not fulfill their obligations to pay workers' normative rights and to determine and analyze the analysis of Decision Number: 20 / Pdt.Sus-PKPU / 2019 / Pn.Niaga.Mdn regarding the request for postponement of debt payment obligations submitted by workers. The research method used in this study is a type of normative legal research, which is supported by secondary data sources, and qualitative analysis is carried out. Law Number 37 of 2004 concerning Bankruptcy and PKPU provides a legal mechanism for workers to claim their normative rights through a PKPU application against a company that does not fulfill its obligations. The PKPU process in the Commercial Court involves stages of debt verification, creditor meetings, and peace efforts that can result in a settlement that benefits both parties. Decision Number 20/Pdt.Sus-PKPU/2019/PN.Niaga.Mdn proves the effectiveness of the PKPU mechanism in resolving disputes between workers and companies, where a peace agreement was reached that resulted in full payment of workers' rights. This shows that PKPU can be a fair and efficient solution in guaranteeing workers' rights while providing an opportunity for companies to fulfill their obligations and continue their business.
