Abstract

The main issue raised in this article is the vagueness of the norm of worker competitiveness in the Indonesian Foundation Law. In achieving its aims, a foundation will face problems related to its own sustainability. Charitable activities that it is engaged in are believed to threaten its sustainability, in addition to achieve fairness both for foundation as employer and worker as employee, norm of worker performance in the form of wage based on performance are needed. Such an issue may be solved by reforming the Foundation Law with the adoption of a performance-based approach, similar to the Job Creation Law. This research employs a doctrinal legal method to analyze the normative issues of existing positive laws. To support this analysis, it utilizes a statutory approach, a conceptual approach, and a comparative approach. This article concludes that there are benefits in challenging the assumption that the Foundation is purely voluntary which does not recognize performance based, towards this problem it needs to be specifically regulated in the Foundation Law.
