Jakarta. The government has officially set the dates for holidays and public leave until 2025 through a joint ministerial regulation (SKB). The 2025 calendar includes 17 public holidays and 10 public holidays.
Collective leave, or cuti bersama, is a unique concept in Indonesia where the government designates specific non-public holidays as extra vacation days for workers. These dates are often added to bridge holidays with weekends, create long weekends or extended vacation periods.
The decree, issued by the Ministry of Religious Affairs, the Ministry of Manpower and the Ministry of Administrative and Bureaucratic Reform, is listed under SKB No. 1017/2024, No. 2/2024 and No. 2/2024. The regulation aims to ensure efficiency in work schedules and to guide both public and private institutions in observing national holidays and collective holidays.
Organizations and businesses that provide essential public services, such as hospitals, health centers, utilities, telecommunications, firefighting, security, banking and transportation, must assign staff during public holidays and collective leave periods. This ensures an uninterrupted service for the benefit of the public.
