Working Time Rules: Indonesia
Indonesia: working hours, holiday calendars and annual leave rules for practical workforce planning.
This is a general overview, not legal advice. Limits, reference periods, exceptions, and record-keeping duties vary by sector and contract and change over time. Confirm the current rules with the official source and a qualified adviser.
Working week used in calculations40 hours per week8 hours a day over 5 days
Minimum annual leaveAt least 12 working days after 12 monthsThe ministry’s guidance provides at least twelve working days of annual leave after twelve continuous months of work. Employment contracts, company rules and collective agreements determine the applicable arrangements. Keep personal leave separate from the national holiday table, and verify whether approved cuti bersama consumes that leave balance.Source
Statutory working time
The Ministry of Manpower describes both a five-day, eight-hour schedule and a six-day arrangement totaling forty hours. Select the pattern agreed at the workplace. Public holidays and cuti bersama are different inputs: collective leave in private establishments is arranged by management and may affect the annual leave balance. Do not deduct the same absence twice.
