1. Official Holiday Schedule for Christmas 2024
In a meaningful step, the government has officially designated December 25, 2024, as a national holiday to celebrate Christmas, followed by a joint holiday on December 26.
This decision is stated in the Joint Decree (SKB) signed by the Minister of Religious Affairs, the Minister of Manpower, and the Minister of Administrative and Bureaucratic Reform.
With this consecutive holiday, Christians are given a golden opportunity to celebrate Christmas solemnly with their beloved families, making the moment more special and memorable.
2. Confirmation of December 27, 2024, as a Work Day
The public is wondering whether Friday, December 27, 2024, will be a joint holiday. However, the Deputy of the Coordinating Ministry for Human Development and Culture, Warsito, emphasized that there will be no additional joint holiday for that date.
This is due to the remaining national annual leave rights that have already been used up to 10 days. Nevertheless, you can still apply for personal leave to indulge yourself in enjoying the long holiday.
"There are already 10 joint holidays established nationally, so only two days remain that can be freely requested, making additional joint holidays impossible," he explained, as reported by kemenkopmk.go.id.
3. Recommendation for Personal Leave Schedule
Make the most of your holiday moments wisely! By strategically planning your personal leave, you can extend your relaxation time. For example, if you take leave on December 23 and 24, 2024, your holiday can stretch until December 26.
Alternatively, choose to take leave on December 27 and 28 to enjoy the holiday until the weekend. This strategy is certainly beneficial for everyone, both private sector employees and civil servants who still have remaining annual leave.
4. Government Focus on Smooth Nataru Holidays
