About Indonesia’s public holidays and joint leaves
There are various public holidays throughout the year in Indonesia. The country counts four different types of holidays: religious, national, international, and commemorative. National holidays are marked as “red date” (“tanggal merah”) on the calendar and imply that government offices, schools, banks, and most businesses will be closed. In addition to official public holidays, the government also provides joint leaves (“collective leave days”), during which public servants will be on leave, but not the other groups. The concept of joint leaves was introduced to stimulate the local tourism industry.
