JAKARTA - The government has officially reduced the year-end long holiday and the ration to compensate for leave with Eid al-Fitr. This was decided in a meeting of a number of ministries.
The Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Culture (Menko PMK) Muhadjir Effendi explained that there are still Christmas and New Year 2021 holidays. However, the number is cut from the 11-day quota previously planned.
"In essence, according to the directive, we decided that the Christmas and New Year holidays would still exist and still add a holiday to replace the Eid," Muhadjir said in a virtual press conference, Tuesday, December 1.
According to Muhadjir, holidays are set on December 24, 25, 26 and 27 as a joint leave for Christmas. "The 24th is holidays with Christmas, the 25th is Christmas Day, the 26th is Saturday and the 27th is Sunday," Muhadjir said.
Then December 28, 29, and 30 were not designated as holidays. All employees work as usual. The three-day replacement plan was eliminated as a leave with Eid al-Fitr.
"Only then, December 31st is a substitute holiday for Eid. Then January 1 because the new year is 2021. Then, January 2 is Saturday and January 3 is Sunday," Muhadjir said.
"Thus, technically there will be three days to reduce the holiday, namely December 28-30. Later this agreement will be signed by three ministers, Menpan RB, Menaker and Menag," he continued.
