4. 4. Work Regulations During Holidays: Special Sectors and Overtime Pay
Although public holidays and joint leave have been established, some sectors are still allowed to operate under the stipulated conditions. Vital sectors such as health, transportation, energy, and tourism continue their activities to maintain the continuity of services needed by the public. According to the Minister of Manpower and Transmigration Decree No. 233 of 2003, health services, public transportation, mass media, security, as well as shopping centers and supermarkets are part of the industries that remain operational. Workers who are on duty during national holidays are entitled to receive overtime pay in accordance with applicable regulations, without reducing their annual leave rights if that day is a joint leave that has not been taken.

The granted holiday covers the end of Ramadan until a few days after Eid, providing ample space for families to travel together without disrupting learning activities.
The Ministry of Education emphasizes the importance of rest time and family togetherness during Eid, especially since the month of Ramadan also requires adjustments in learning activities. This policy is considered to support the balance between spiritual and academic activities for children during the holy month.
6. 6. Optional Joint Leave
In an effort to maintain a balance between the needs of the company and the rights of workers, the Ministry of Manpower issued a Circular Letter stating that joint leave is optional, meaning it must be agreed upon by both parties. Nevertheless, many companies choose to adhere to this policy to align their schedules with government agencies and other sectors.
For employees who choose to continue working during joint leave, their leave rights remain intact, and they are entitled to compensation or a substitute holiday. This is a crucial matter that HR and employers need to pay attention to in order to ensure compliance with labor regulations and maintain good relations with employees.
