This obligation is regulated by law to protect workers from risks such as workplace accidents, death, and retirement. However, many companies still fail to fulfill this obligation. Such non-compliance can lead to legal consequences, including administrative and criminal sanctions. On the other hand, workers become vulnerable to various risks without social security protection. This article examines the legal aspects governing company obligations, implications for workers, and potential sanctions faced. This study aims to provide a deeper understanding of the importance of compliance with BPJS Ketenagakerjaan registration. Raising awareness and enforcing the law are necessary to ensure fair protection for all stakeholders.</p> 2025-02-05T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025 Sanco Simanullang, Habieb Pahlevi, Elisabet Rawati Girsang https://journal.formosapublisher.org/index.php/cjas/article/view/13338 Implementation of Corporate Criminal Sanctions Enforcement in Arrears of Bpjs Employment Contributions 2025-01-07T05:41:22+00:00 Kristiani Asyyere kristinsgn5@gmail.com Habieb Pahlevi kristinsgn5@gmail.com Sanco Simanullang kristinsgn5@gmail.com Yasir Riady kristinsgn5@gmail.com <p>This study aims to analyze the procedures and issues in enforcing criminal sanctions against companies defaulting on BPJS Employment contributions. A normative legal research method was used. The criminal provisions of the BPJS Law are special criminal laws outside the Penal Code and form part of the penal system. The absence of implementing regulations creates a legal vacuum, preventing BPJS Employment from enforcing the mandated penalties. Criminal sanctions targeting corporations lack technical guidelines. Furthermore, BPJS Employment lacks adequate legal authority to report or investigate violations. Key obstacles include conflicts of interest, sectoral ego, and lengthy bureaucracies. Detailed regulations on mechanisms and BPJS Employment's authority to enforce Article 55 of Law No. 24 of 2011 are needed to achieve justice.</p> 2025-02-05T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025 Kristiani Asyyere, Habieb Pahlevi, Sanco Simanullang https://journal.formosapublisher.org/index.php/cjas/article/view/13345 The Role of BPJS Employment Improving Worker Welfare in Indonesia 2025-01-07T10:37:10+00:00 Evlin Novianti Tambunan evlintambunan585@gmail.com Habieb Pahlevi evlintambunan585@gmail.com Yasir Riady evlintambunan585@gmail.com <p>BPJS Ketenagakerjaan (Employment Social Security Agency) has an important role in Improving Workers' Welfare in Indonesia.

Through a qualitative approach, data were collected using text analysis methods, semi-structured interviews, and focus group discussions involving individuals from various backgrounds. The results of the analysis show that language does not only function as a means of communication, but also as a mirror that reflects the cultural values and social identities of individuals. It was found that language can strengthen collective and individual identities, and plays an important role in the process of cultural exchange. However, the use of language can also create challenges related to stereotypes and social hierarchies. These findings emphasize the importance of understanding the relationship between language, culture, and identity in a changing global context.</p> 2025-02-05T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025 Fitriya https://journal.formosapublisher.org/index.php/cjas/article/view/13705 Implementation of Center Learning Model for Early Childhood in Kemala Bhayangkari 05 Kindergarten, Banten Region 2025-01-30T03:35:47+00:00 Alfia Batshila 2228210064@untirta.ac.id Asya Alifa 2228210064@untirta.ac.id Felicia Yorenda 2228210064@untirta.ac.id Dian Surya Aprilyanti 2228210064@untirta.ac.id Sipa Unnaziah 2228210064@untirta.ac.id Luthfiyah Robbiyati Shofa 2228210064@untirta.ac.id Sumiati 2228210064@untirta.ac.id Nanda Shafira Ashadi 2228210064@untirta.ac.id Siti Dewi Winengsih 2228210064@untirta.ac.id Hanifa Almira Nanda 2228210064@untirta.ac.id <p>Early childhood, according to Yuliani Sujiono (2014), is a child aged from birth to 6 years. This period is very crucial in the formation of character, personality, and intellectual abilities of children. Early childhood education can be understood as a learning process that focuses on developing potential including cognitive, emotional, social, physical-motor, language, and moral aspects. The center learning model is an educational approach specifically aimed at early childhood, with an emphasis on development through play activities. This approach combines two main elements, namely circle time and play centers. This research method uses a qualitative descriptive approach. Data collection is carried out through observation, interviews, documentation, and field notes. Learning at Kemala Bhayangkari 05 Kindergarten, Banten Region, shows significant effectiveness in implementing the center learning model.</p> 2025-02-05T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025 Alfia Batshila, Asya Alifa, Felicia Yorenda, Dian Surya Aprilyanti, Sipa Unnaziah, Luthfiyah Robbiyati Shofa, Sumiati, Nanda Shafira Ashadi, Siti Dewi Winengsih, Hanifa Almira Nanda
