An employment contract is a written agreement between an employee and an employer that contains rights, obligations and terms of employment. This letter is mandatory for the company to provide for prospective employees before they start their job officially. However, companies must comply with the applicable UU Ketenagakerjaan (Labor Law).

The legal basis that binds the Work Contract Agreement is UU No. 13 of 2003 concerning Manpower (Ketenagakerjaan). To be precise, according to Pasal 1 Ayat 14:

“A work agreement is an agreement between a worker/labourer and an employer which contains terms of employment, rights and obligations of the parties.”

Work contracts must be created on the accordance of Pasal 51 Ayat 1 of UU Ketenagakerjaan (Manpower Law):

There is an agreement between the two parties – there should be no constraint from either party and both must agree
Ability to carry out legal actions – both parties must be mature enough and understand the legal rules related to the contract
There is an agreed job – the work must be in accordance with what was agreed upon by both parties
The agreed work does not conflict with public order, applicable laws, and regulations – in practice, there may be no activities that break the law

The difference between the two are:

Work contracts are legally binding (especially to UU Cipta Kerja), while offering letters are not.
The job offer letter is the initial work agreement between the employee and the company.
Meanwhile, work contracts provide certainty about the status of workers, whether PKWT or PKWTT.
The work contract contains the duration of the contract, while the job offer letter only mention the starting date of a job.
A job offer letter doesn’t mean you’ve been officially accepted, but a work contract means you’ve guranteed accepted.
The employment contract fully explains the terms of work, rights and obligations of both parties. Meanwhile, a job offer letter only explains the position and job description.

A work certificate is a written letter containing information or a statement that you work for a company. The information details are: name, title, address, and other personal data.
