Hello,
I have a friend who lives in Indonesia and is working a job as a security guard. He is trying to quit because they are constantly forcing him to work back-to-back 12 hour shifts (essentially 24 hour shifts) because they are understaffed. It is having a negative effect on his health.
He wants to get out, but he was told that he would need to pay 5 million rupiah if he wanted to leave the job prior to the 1 year term of the contract. I did some research and it appears that they may be violating some Indonesian labor laws, but I haven’t been able to get a good sense of whether there is anything he can really do about it.
- His normal shift is 12 hours.
- He is paid about 30% more wh
