INTRODUCTION
The swift evolution of technology, particularly in the domains of digitalization and automation, has profoundly reshaped the business landscape for companies.The adoption of artificial intelligence systems, data analytics, and collaborative platforms not only transforms the fundamental nature of work but also expedites overall business processes (Agustian, Mubarok, et al., 2023).These changes necessitate adaptations in human resource management (HRM) and compliance with labor laws.Faced with these challenges, companies are compelled to overhaul their HR management strategies, aligning them with the novel dynamics introduced by technological evolution.Additionally, adherence to labor regulations assumes paramount importance, given the substantial shifts in operational paradigms.Hence, conformity with today's technological transformation is not merely essential but imperative for sustaining competitiveness and efficiency in this digital era.
The continual progression of technology has ushered in new opportunities in terms of work flexibility and the mobility of human resources (HR) (Sutrisno et al., 2023;Wahyoedi et al., 2023).Phenomena such as remote work, the utilization of smart devices, and collaborative platforms have become pervasive in the contemporary work environment.The ramifications of this transformation underscore the need for a comprehensive review of company labor policies, particularly concerning critical aspects like working hours, rest periods, and workers' rights.In an era where technological innovation consistently pushes traditional boundaries, companies must adopt a forward-thinking and adaptive approach (Wanof, 2023).This ensures that their internal policies are not only in harmony with these new dynamics but also facilitate the implementation of inclusive working practices responsive to individual needs and the latest technological developments.
Today's corporate landscape exhibits an increasing reliance on technology for the recruitment and selection processes of human resources (HR).The integration of artificial intelligence algorithms into these processes can significantly impact crucial facets such as fairness and transparency in employee selection (Wibowo et al., 2023).Consequently, it becomes imperative to conduct an exhaustive study on the legal compliance aspects of deploying this technology in the context of labor management.This is not solely to ensure regulatory adherence but also to guarantee that the use of technology in recruitment and selection remains fair, cognizant of diversity, and upholds integrity and trust from both employee and legal perspectives.Thus, meticulous research and analysis are pivotal to ensuring that the technology adopted by companies in HR management results in accurate and equitable decisions.
The application of technology in human resource management (HRM) brings not only benefits but also significant challenges related to worker data privacy and security.Alongside the integration of technology solutions such as cloud-based HR management systems and collaborative platforms, companies bear the responsibility of safeguarding workers' personal information in compliance with applicable data security standards (Dwivedi et al., 2023).Consequently, it is essential for companies to formulate and implement policies guaranteeing not only the privacy of workers but also compliance with rapidly evolving data protection regulations.Involving workers in this process, ensuring transparency regarding data collection and use, and embracing advanced security technologies are vital steps in preserving integrity and trust in technology-enabled HR management.Thus, awareness and commitment to the privacy and security aspects of data form foundational elements in embracing the positive potential of technology in the context of HR management.
Law No. 13 Year 2003, governing various aspects of employment encompassing workers' rights and obligations, wage policies, and dispute resolution, stands as a crucial legal foundation defining the labor framework in Indonesia (Kemenperin, 2003).While this law provides a robust foundation, the rapid evolution in technology poses new challenges to its implementation and compliance.Changes in the way business is conducted, such as the utilization of artificial intelligence, automation, and digital platforms, can create disparities with the provisions of the law.Consequently, a thorough analysis is increasingly important to determine how companies can adapt their strategies to ensure full compliance with existing regulations.This involves integrating applicable labor principles with technological advancements and developing internal policies that respond to new dynamics in the labor context.Proactive and adaptive efforts are thus required to keep companies abreast of technological developments and maintain compliance with the applicable labor law framework.
The research envisaged aims to make a substantial contribution to deepening the understanding of the impact of technological evolution on human resource management (HRM) and labor law compliance in Indonesia.By focusing attention on the intricate dynamics between technological developments and HRM, the research aims to identify practical implications that may arise for companies.Through detailed analysis of specific aspects related to technological change within the ambit of HR management, this research also seeks to develop a practical guide.Such a guide could serve as a source of guidance for companies in effectively navigating this transformation.By providing in-depth insights and practical solutions, this research holds the potential to become a foundational resource for stakeholders in academia and industry.It will empower them to make informed and contextualized decisions in addressing the dynamics of technological evolution in the Indonesian labor context.

LITERATURE REVIEW Technological Evolution
Technological evolution refers to the development and changes in technological systems over time, encompassing innovation, improvement, and transformation in how humans utilize Jurnal Minfo Polgan Volume 12, Nomor 2, Januari 2024 DOI : https://doi.org/10.33395/jmp.v12i2.13337e-ISSN : 2797-3298 p-ISSN : 2089-9424 knowledge and tools to meet their needs (Suherlan & Okombo, 2023).This phenomenon is not limited to the advancement of hardware such as computers, phones, or vehicles but also involves progress in software, artificial intelligence, and ever-growing connectivity (Rijal & Saranani, 2023).In this process of evolution, technology undergoes not only individual changes but also interacts with various sectors of society, including the economy, education, health, and communication.Paradigm shifts in technological evolution often create significant impacts on how we work, communicate, and live daily, presenting both new challenges and opportunities in various aspects of human life (Beer & Mulder, 2020).

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
In navigating a rapidly evolving era, the technological revolution is not only a phenomenon, but also a transformational force that significantly changes the landscape of life, especially in the realm of human resource management and legal compliance in the world of work.This enormous impact cannot be separated from the increasingly complex dynamics of society and the global changes that occur continuously.In the context of Indonesian labour law, Law Number 13 Year 2003 is the legal foundation that comprehensively regulates the relationship between workers and employers.However, new challenges arising from the rapid pace of technological development have forced a review of existing legal provisions in order to maintain the relevance and sustainability of the labour system in the midst of ongoing transformation.
First of all, it should be noted that the technological revolution has changed the traditional paradigm of human resource management, shaping an increasingly integrated and sophisticated landscape.The integration of information systems and artificial intelligence in employee recruitment, selection and performance evaluation processes is not just an innovation, but has become a necessity in many organisations.The application of these technologies, which include big data analytics, machine learning, and intelligent algorithms, can not only improve operational efficiency, but also increase accuracy and objectivity in human resource decision-making.However, the presence of these positive impacts also raises critical questions related to employee privacy and potential discrimination in the context of automated decision-making.Therefore, there is a need for deep reflection to harmonise technological advancements with ethical values and fairness in the context of human resource management (Davidescu et al., 2020).
In addition, the evolution of technology has also changed the dynamics of work itself, shaping a new paradigm fuelled by digital advancements (Kraus et al., 2021).Flexible remote working is no longer just an option, but has become an increasingly popular choice, especially with the rise of digital collaboration platforms.This change not only creates flexibility for workers, but also has a significant impact on regulations related to working hours, leave entitlements, and employee welfare protection.Critical questions arise regarding the extent to which existing labour regulations are able to accommodate increasingly sophisticated and connected work dynamics (Kozlowski & Ilgen, 2006).Therefore, an in-depth study is needed to evaluate and modernise labour policies to address the new challenges that arise along with this paradigm shift, and ensure that the protection and rights of employees are maintained in line with technological advancements.
On the other hand, along with technological advancements come increasingly complex issues related to digital security and employee data protection.In an effort to create a safe and trusted work environment, companies are not only faced with the challenge of data leaks that can jeopardise employee rights and privacy (Javaid et al., 2023), but also with the growing risks associated with cyberattacks and unethical use of technology.Facing these dynamics, there is a need for labour regulations that are not only responsive but also proactive in regulating companies' obligations in protecting employees' personal information (Irawan et al., 2022).Therefore, the importance of an up-to-date and sophisticated legal framework is becoming increasingly apparent, to ensure that companies not only meet high digital security standards but are also responsible for managing employee data in a fair and transparent manner.
However, these changes do not always go hand in hand with the development of labour law, creating an ever-widening gap between the speed of technological development and the law's ability to adjust to the evolving dynamics of work.As a concrete example, essential questions arise about the extent to which employee rights in a digital work environment are adequately addressed in Law No. 13 Year 2003, or whether substantive amendments are needed to accommodate these new dynamics.This challenge involves deep consideration of the rights to privacy, security and fairness in the face of an increasingly connected and technology-dependent work reality.Hence, there is a need for a thorough evaluation of the labour law framework to ensure that existing regulations are not only relevant but also proactive in anticipating the impacts that may arise due to the ongoing shift in the work paradigm.
Meanwhile, from a legal compliance perspective, the use of technology in human resource management requires companies to not only understand, but also adapt themselves to follow regulations relating to data protection, privacy rights, and information security.The increasing reliance of companies on technology brings serious repercussions related to the risk of breaching these legal provisions.Such breaches not only have the potential to harm a company's reputation, but can also result in serious legal sanctions, including large fines and even revocation of business licences.Therefore, compliance with regulations relating to technology and data management is an absolute must for modern companies that want to maintain their integrity, ensure operational sustainability, and provide legal certainty for all parties involved.Thus, the implementation of technology must be accompanied by a strong legal compliance strategy, so that companies can run their operations efficiently and within the limits of applicable law.
In the Indonesian context, given the rapidly evolving dynamics of work and technology, a revision of Law No. 13/2003 is likely necessary to address the new challenges and opportunities that arise.The government and relevant stakeholders must synergise and work together proactively to formulate regulations that are not only adequate but also relevant to the latest technological developments.This revision process is not only a legal necessity, but also an opportunity to create a legal foundation that is more inclusive and adaptive to the increasingly sophisticated work environment.In addition, it is important to ensure that in the revision process, employee rights are strengthened and remain substantially protected.These steps are key in building a responsive legal framework, creating a sustainable business climate, and providing guarantees for the healthy and fair development of the world of work in the modern technological era.
To conclude, the evolution of technology has permeated various layers of human resource management strategies and legal compliance arrangements in the modern era with impacts that are not only broad but also profound.While technology opens the door to tantalising new opportunities, the complex challenge of maintaining a balance between innovative advancements and the protection of employee rights demands serious attention from all stakeholders.There needs to be a commitment to engage in open dialogue, conduct in-depth studies on the implications of new technologies, and make appropriate regulatory changes to accommodate the shifting work paradigm.By doing so, society can ensure that the evolution of technology in the world of work not only brings balanced positive benefits, but also creates a fair environment for all parties, safeguards employee rights, and upholds the values of justice in shaping a smart and inclusive future of work.

CONCLUSION
In conclusion, it can be inferred that technological evolution has significantly impacted human resource management strategies and legal compliance, particularly within the context of Indonesia's Law Number 13 of 2003 on Manpower.The integration of technology into HRM processes has enhanced efficiency and productivity but has simultaneously posed new challenges related to employee privacy, data protection, and changes in work dynamics.From the perspective of labor law, these changes require a prompt and sustained response from the authorities.A revision Jurnal Minfo Polgan Volume 12, Nomor 2, Januari 2024 DOI : https://doi.org/10.33395/jmp.v12i2.13337e-ISSN : 2797-3298 p-ISSN : 2089-9424 of Law Number 13 of 2003 may be necessary to accommodate the increasingly sophisticated work environment.This update should consider employee privacy rights, digital security, and compliance with international standards on data protection.
Recommendations involve collaboration between the government, businesses, and other stakeholders.Education and training on the legal implications and ethics of technology implementation need to be enhanced to ensure that all involved parties understand and comply with applicable regulations.Additionally, authorities need to actively monitor technological developments to respond quickly and appropriately to changes.Companies are expected to adopt internal policies that prioritize employee rights, maintain data security, and ensure compliance with regulations.The implementation of technology should be accompanied by transparency and accountability, creating a digital work environment where employees feel secure and respected.
In the long term, the development of progressive and adaptive regulations can help create a work environment aligned with technological advancements.Through open and collaborative dialogue among the government, businesses, academics, and the public, Indonesia can take steps toward policies that support innovation while safeguarding the fundamental rights of workers.Thus, the technological evolution in the workplace can contribute positively to sustainable and inclusive development.
