⚖️ Legal Regulations

Federal holidays in the United States are established by federal law (5 U.S.C. 6103) for government employees. Private sector observance is not mandated by federal law but is common practice. The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) governs standard working hours and overtime pay, but does not require payment for time not worked on holidays.
The official list of national holidays and joint leave days for Indonesia is stipulated in a Joint Ministerial Decree (Surat Keputusan Bersama or SKB) issued by three ministers. This decree, typically issued the year prior, legally establishes the non-working days for the entire country. The Labor Law regulates standard working hours, overtime, and leave entitlements.

💡 Insights

A common cultural practice is to create 'bridge days' by taking leave between a holiday and a weekend to extend time off. The day after Thanksgiving, known as Black Friday, is not a federal holiday but is a common day off for many employees, often as part of a four-day weekend. The typical full-time work schedule is 40 hours per week, Monday to Friday.
A key feature of Indonesia's holiday calendar is the 'cuti bersama' or joint holiday system, where the government declares additional days off around major holidays to create extended 'long weekend' breaks. This practice is popular for travel and family gatherings. Typical work schedules are Monday to Friday, though some businesses operate on Saturday mornings.
