Abstract

The existence of online motorcycle taxis still raises debate, whether they are workers or partners. In the decision by the U.K. Supreme Court, online motorcycle taxi workers, also known as gig workers, have been decided as workers. The results of the study indicate that Indonesian laws and regulations have not been able to accommodate the existence of online motorcycle taxis as workers. However, protection needs to be made for online motorcycle taxi partners, especially in terms of safety and security as well as income. The government needs to determine the direction of employment policies to protect online motorcycle taxi workers.

Keywords: online motorcycle taxi, partners, workers, gig workers.
