The approach method used is the statutory approach. The objects research were the policies of the West Java Provincial Government, the Central Java Provincial Government, and the East Java Provincial Government. The legal materials used include primary and secondary legal materials. The two legal materials were collected through literature study and then analyzed using qualitative analysis methods. The results show that in implementing the legal policy of labour supervision, local government policies in the three provinces refer to the labor supervision system established by the central government. The Regional Governments did not issue specific policies related to the labor supervision system, but the three provinces issued policies related to the structuring of institutions that carry out labor supervision activities. There is no uniformity in an institutional arrangement. This non-uniformity is based on the sociological conditions in each province which still adheres to the principles and norms of the applicable law.
