Covid-19 is a disease that spreads very quickly, namely only by droplets of liquid from people who are infected with Covid-19. This very rapid spread has caused the Indonesian Government to issue a policy in the form of Government Regulation Number 21 of 2020 concerning Large-Scale Social Restrictions in the Context of Accelerating the Handling of Covid-19 (hereinafter referred to as PP Number 21 of 2020). With the existence of PP No. 21 of 2020, the Government of the State of Indonesia through the Ministry of Health has implemented Large-Scale Social Restrictions (PSBB). These PSBB provisions certainly have an impact on many people in various circles. It does not only affect the lower middle class but also those in the upper middle class. Which causes an increase in the unemployment rate due to the number of layoffs. Based on the Circular Letter of the Minister of Manpower Number M/3/HK.04/III/2020 of 2020 concerning the Protection of Workers/Labourers and Business Continuity in the Context of Preventing and Combating COVID-19 to avoid layoffs, employers can make major changes regarding the payment method for workers/laborers' wages. workers temporarily laid off due to the COVID-19 outbreak, based on the agreement of the parties. As well as workers / laborers suspected of being positive for COVID-19 are entitled to wages. Thus, layoffs are not recommended. Continuing to employ workers/labor is an alternative effort to maintain the continuity of business activities. For people affected by layoffs, the government made several efforts, such as providing BLT subsidies, job training as workforce development, and expanding job opportunities.
