List of national holidays and collective leave days for 2027

The government of the Republic of Indonesia has designated 18 national holidays and 8 days of collective leave for 2027. This means there will be a total of 26 official holidays throughout 2027.

This decision is set out in a joint decree (SKB) signed by three ministers—Minister of Religious Affairs Nasaruddin Umar, Minister of Manpower Yassierli, and Minister of Administrative and Bureaucratic Reform (PANRB) Rini Widyantini—at the offices of the Coordinating Ministry for Human Development and Culture (Kemenko PMK) in Jakarta on Tuesday, September 15, 2026.

“It has been agreed that there will be 18 national holidays in 2027, the majority of which are religious holidays. In addition, there will be 8 days of collective leave in 2027,” stated Pratikno, the Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Culture (Kemenko PMK).

Minister of Manpower Yassierli explained that the designation of national holidays is also linked to employment conditions. According to the Minister of Manpower’s Circular Letter No. M/6/HK.04/XII/2024, employees are not required to work on national holidays or official days off.

“Employers may only require employees to work on national holidays for operations that necessitate continuous work,” said Yassierli.

He stated that, under certain circumstances, companies may operate on national holidays based on a written agreement between the employer and the employee. If employees do work, their employment rights must be upheld in accordance with applicable regulations. “Employers who require employees to work on national holidays are required to pay overtime,” he emphasized.

Yassierli also explained the provisions regarding collective leave for employees. Collective leave is part of annual leave, and its application is

optional. Employees who take collective leave see a reduction in their annual leave entitlement.

“Meanwhile, employees who continue to work on collective leave days will not experience a reduction in their annual leave entitlements and will receive their wages just as they would on regular working days,” he said.

Determining national holidays and collective leave days in advance is expected to provide businesses and the public with greater certainty when planning work schedules, business activities, travel, and vacations during 2027.

Daftar Hari Libur Nasional dan Cuti Bersama Tahun 2027

Pemerintah Republik Indonesia menetapkan 18 hari libur nasional dan 8 hari cuti bersama untuk tahun 2027. Dengan demikian, terdapat total 26 hari libur resmi sepanjang tahun 2027.

Ketetapan tersebut dituangkan dalam Surat Keputusan Bersama (SKB) Tiga Menteri yang ditandatangani Menteri Agama Nasaruddin Umar, Menteri Ketenagakerjaan Yassierli, dan Menteri Pendayagunaan Aparatur Negara dan Reformasi Birokrasi

(PANRB) Rini Widyantini di Kantor Kementerian Koordinator Bidang Pembangunan Manusia dan Kebudayaan (Kemenko PMK), Jakarta, Selasa, 15 September 2026.

“Sudah disepakati jumlah libur nasional 18 hari di tahun 2027, mayoritas hari raya keagamaan. Kemudian jumlah cuti bersama tahun 2027 sebanyak 8 hari,” kata Menteri Koordinator Bidang Pembangunan Manusia dan Kebudayaan (Menko PMK) Pratikno.

Menteri Ketenagakerjaan Yassierli menjelaskan, penetapan hari libur nasional juga berkaitan dengan ketentuan ketenagakerjaan bagi pekerja/buruh. Berdasarkan Surat Edaran Menaker Nomor M/6/HK.04/XII/2024, pekerja/buruh pada dasarnya tidak wajib bekerja pada hari libur nasional atau hari libur resmi.

“Pengusaha hanya dapat mempekerjakan pekerja pada hari libur nasional untuk jenis pekerjaan yang sifatnya harus berjalan terus-menerus” ujar Yassierli.

Menurutnya, dalam kondisi tertentu, perusahaan tetap dapat beroperasi pada hari libur nasional berdasarkan kesepakatan tertulis antara pengusaha dan pekerja. Dalam hal pekerja/buruh tetap bekerja, hak-hak ketenagakerjaan wajib dipenuhi sesuai ketentuan yang berlaku.

“Pengusaha yang mempekerjakan pekerja/buruh pada hari libur nasional wajib membayar upah kerja lembur,” tegasnya.

Yassierli juga menjelaskan ketentuan mengenai cuti bersama bagi pekerja/buruh. Bahwa cuti bersama merupakan bagian dari cuti tahunan dan pelaksanaannya

bersifat fakultatif atau pilihan. Pekerja yang mengambil libur pada hari cuti bersama akan mengurangi hak cuti tahunan yang dimilikinya.

“Sementara bagi pekerja atau buruh yang tetap bekerja pada hari cuti bersama, hak cuti tahunannya tidak berkurang dan kepadanya dibayarkan upah seperti hari kerja biasa,” katanya.

Penetapan hari libur nasional dan cuti bersama sejak jauh hari diharapkan memberikan kepastian bagi dunia usaha dan masyarakat dalam menyusun agenda kerja, kegiatan usaha, perjalanan, maupun rencana liburan sepanjang 2027.
