⚖️ Legal Regulations

The United States does not have a federal law mandating paid public holidays; the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) governs minimum wage and overtime but not holidays. Federal holidays are established by Congress and apply primarily to federal employees and the District of Columbia. Private sector observance is at the employer's discretion, though many follow the federal schedule. State and local governments may also establish their own holidays.
The official list of national holidays and joint leave days for Indonesia is stipulated annually by a Joint Ministerial Decree (Surat Keputusan Bersama or SKB). For 2026, this is governed by SKB 3 Menteri Nomor 1497 Tahun 2025, Nomor 2 Tahun 2025, dan Nomor 5 Tahun 2025, dated 19 September 2025. The decree legally establishes non-working days for all employees and the public sector.
The official list of national holidays and joint leave days for Indonesia is stipulated in a Joint Ministerial Decree (Surat Keputusan Bersama 3 Menteri) issued in September 2025. This decree, involving three ministries, legally establishes the non-working days for the year. The standard legal workweek and holiday entitlements are governed by Indonesia's Labor Law (Undang-Undang Ketenagakerjaan).

📰 News

For 2026, the official holiday list was announced via a Joint Ministerial Decree in late 2025, identifying nine specific long weekend periods throughout the year. The dates for Islamic holidays (Idul Fitri, Idul Adha, etc.) are marked as tentative as they depend on moon sightings. No major changes to fundamental working time regulations or new permanent holidays were announced for 2026.

💡 Insights

A common practice in the US is to create 'bridge days' by taking off the workdays between a holiday and a weekend to extend the break. The typical full-time work schedule is Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM. Many employees receive the day after Thanksgiving (Black Friday) as a paid day off, though it is not a federal holiday.
A common practice in Indonesia is the declaration of 'joint holidays' (cuti bersama) around major religious festivals like Idul Fitri, effectively creating extended holiday periods or 'bridge days'. This leads to a culture of 'long weekends' which are highly anticipated. Many holidays are tentative as their exact dates depend on moon sightings or religious calculations.
A common practice in Indonesia is the creation of 'long weekends' (libur panjang) when holidays fall near regular weekends, with the government often declaring 'joint leave days' (cuti bersama) to bridge the gap. The culture emphasizes maximizing holiday periods for travel and family gatherings. School holiday schedules are determined separately by local governments, sometimes leading to even longer breaks for students.
