This study aims to analyze regulations regarding the protection of workers with
disabilities in Indonesian legislation, as well as to identify challenges in implementing
legal protection and efforts to improve its implementation. This study uses a normative
juridical method. The research stages include problem formulation, collection of
primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials, and normative analysis through
systematic and conceptual interpretation. The object of study is norms inLaw No.
8/2016and Law No. 13/2003, as well as relevant scientific literature. The results of
the study indicate that legal protection for workers with disabilities in Indonesia has
been regulated through a legal framework, which guarantees the right to non
discrimination, reasonable accommodation, equal wages, OSH, and social security for
workers. However, its implementation still faces various challenges, such as weak law
enforcement, minimal reasonable accommodation, discrimination and stigma,
regulatory disharmony, and limited inclusive job training. This study also found that
efforts to strengthen regulations, implement sanctions and inclusive audits, provide
reasonable accommodation, improve job training, and change work culture are
strategic steps to improve this legal protection. The results also confirm that there is a
gap between legal norms and employment practices, so that more concrete and
sustainable policy interventions are needed.
