Abstract:
Unpaid internships in government institutions raise contradictory views for the
community with various opinions, for some people it is an unethical situation
to do and for others it should be an act of violating the rights of the interns
themselves, because if it contains a clear violation of the law that is detrimental
to the community and is carried out by the government, it is clearly a fatal
mistake that can reduce public trust in government agencies. This study aims
to clarify the contradiction that is quite disturbing the community regarding
unpaid internships in government institutions within the scope of law 13 of
2003 concerning the Manpower Law and the State Budget. By using a
normative and descriptive analytical juridical approach research method, to try
to describe the existing contradictions. Although the government is also quick
to respond in dealing with these contradictions by issuing wage policies for
interns in government agencies, but in this analysis it was found that the
regulation still needs to be studied further regarding the wages of interns in
government institutions more carefully, because it is feared that in the future
there will be violations of the law and the rights of interns who should be
protected by the government.
