Is today a public holiday in Indonesia?

Manpower Act No. 13, Cuti Bersama Decrees & Bank Indonesia Rails

In the Republic of Indonesia, official public holidays are proclaimed annually via a Joint Ministerial Decree (Surat Keputusan Bersama - SKB 3 Menteri) signed by the Minister of Religious Affairs, Minister of Manpower, and Minister of Administrative and Bureaucratic Reform. The Indonesian calendar establishes approximately 16 statutory national holidays (Tanggal Merah) alongside multiple Collective Leave days (Cuti Bersama).

The Cuti Bersama (Collective Leave) Mechanism

Cuti Bersama days are designated by the government to bridge national holidays with adjacent weekends, particularly around Idul Fitri (Lebaran) and Christmas:

• Civil Servants (ASN): Cuti Bersama days are fully paid additional non-working days that do not reduce the civil servant's statutory annual leave allowance.
• Private Sector Employees: Under Ministry of Manpower circulars, Cuti Bersama is optional for private companies. If a private employer grants Cuti Bersama, the days taken are deducted from the employee's contractual annual leave quota. If an employee chooses to work during Cuti Bersama, they receive their standard wage without overtime surcharges.

Manpower Act Article 85 & PP 35/2021 Overtime Rules

Under Article 85 of Manpower Law No. 13/2003 (as amended by UU Cipta Kerja No. 6/2023), workers are not obliged to work on statutory public holidays. Employers requiring staff to work during official national holidays must pay statutory overtime governed by Government Regulation No. 35/2021 (PP 35/2021):

• For a 5-day workweek: The first 8 hours worked on a holiday must be paid at 200% of the hourly wage per hour; the 9th hour at 300%; and the 10th through 12th hours at 400%.
• For a 6-day workweek: The first 7 hours are paid at 200%; the 8th hour at 300%; and subsequent hours at 400%.

The 'No Rollover' Rule in Indonesian Law

Indonesian labor law does not feature automatic Monday substitute days when an official holiday coincides with a Saturday or Sunday. The holiday is absorbed by the weekend unless the government expressly gazettes an adjacent weekday as a Cuti Bersama day.
