This legal memorandum discusses the validity of terminating female workers after maternity leave
and the legal remedies that can be taken to protect their rights. The problem stems from the case of
Siti Aisyah who was terminated by PT Maju Bersama after completing her maternity leave. The
approach used is normative juridical by examining relevant legal provisions, principles, and
jurisprudence. The analysis focused on Article 82 paragraph (1), Article 151 paragraph (1)-(2), and
Article 153 paragraph (1) letter e of Law Number 13 Year 2003 jo. Law Number 6 of 2023, as well
as Article 37 of Government Regulation Number 35 of 2021. The results show that the termination
is not legally valid and contrary to the normative rights of women workers. Legal efforts that can
be taken include bipartite, mediation, and a lawsuit to the Industrial Relations Court.
