The COVID-19 pandemic that began in March 2020 in Indonesia was not only a health crisis, but also caused an employment crisis. Using the August 2020 National Labor Force Survey (SAKERNAS) data, COVID-19 cases data and PSBB policies, this study aims to examine the associations between COVID-19 cases, PSBB policies, as well as main job characteristics and the probability of being unemployed, temporary absent workers, and/or decrease in the total working hours of individuals in Indonesia. The sample in this study is 541,655 working age individuals who are included in the workforce. Analysis using the logistic regression method shows that the increase in COVID-19 cases and the implementation of the PSBB policy in districts or cities in Indonesia have a significant impact on increasing individual probability to become unemployed and experience a decrease in total working hours, but the impact is not significant on individual temporary absent worker status. The PSBB policy increased the probability for individuals to be classified as unemployed by 0.9% and to experience decreased total working hours by 2.7%. This study found that individuals who work in crowded places or work in non-essential sectors have a higher chance of being classified as temporary absent workers and experience a decrease in total working hours. In addition, through this study, it can also be concluded that individuals who are informal workers and/or have the capability to work from home have a higher probability of experiencing a decrease in total working hours, but have a lower probability of being classified as a temporary absent worker. This study concludes that the COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted and negatively impacted the employment sector in Indonesia, with heterogeneous impacts depending on the individual's occupational and sociodemographic characteristics.Ada Tabel
