Under Indonesian law, probation periods of up to three months are allowed only for indefinite-term employees and must be stated in writing. While termination during probation was previously exempt from court approval, a recent Constitutional Court decision (No. 168/PUU-XXI/2023) suggests that such termination may now require a final ruling from an industrial relations dispute resolution institution, aligning probationary dismissal with general employment termination procedures. No official guidance yet confirms how this applies in practice.
