ABSTRACT - Work agreements made in oral form do not conflict with the provisions of Law Number 13 of 2003 concerning Employment, i.e. contained in the provisions Article 51 paragraph 1, i.e. employment agreements are made in writing or verbally. The research aims are to examine the legal position of the worker in the employment relationship without a written employment agreement and the legal protection of workers and workers against the fulfillment of workers' rights in employment without a written employment agreement.

Verbal work agreements have not been able to provide full legal protection to workers, potentially harming workers and workers to the fulfillment of their rights and obligations as workers.
