Annual Leave Rules in Indonesia

In Indonesia, most employees are entitled to 12 days of paid annual leave per year, as stipulated in Article 79 of the Manpower Law No. 13 of 2003. This entitlement applies to employees who have completed at least one year of continuous service with the same employer. The law also allows for the accumulation of unused leave, which can be carried over to the following year, but it must be used within a specified period, typically within 6 months after the end of the year in which it was accrued. Employers are required to ensure that employees take their annual leave to promote work-life balance and employee well-being.

Additionally, employees in Indonesia are entitled to paid leave for certain circumstances, such as maternity leave, sick leave, and religious holidays, which may affect their annual leave entitlements. It is important for both employers and employees to be aware of their rights and obligations under the law to avoid disputes.
