Eid al-Adha 2027 (Idul Adha 1448 Hijriah) is expected around Sunday, 16 May 2027 in Indonesia, but the date is not yet confirmed. The 2027 cuti bersama (joint leave) has also not been announced, so treat any long-weekend planning as provisional.
This guide covers the predicted 2027 window and your evergreen rights under Indonesian labour law.
When Is Eid al-Adha 2027 in Indonesia?
Eid al-Adha 2027 is estimated to fall on Sunday, 16 May 2027 (10 Dhul Hijjah 1448 AH), based on astronomical calculation. An alternate date of Monday, 17 May 2027 is also possible, with the Day of Arafah likely on Saturday, 15 May 2027.
None of these dates are official yet. The final date is subject to Indonesia’s moon-sighting session (sidang isbat), held by the Ministry of Religious Affairs (Kemenag) closer to the time.
- Estimated Idul Adha: Sunday, 16 May 2027 (alternate: Monday, 17 May 2027)
- Estimated Day of Arafah: Saturday, 15 May 2027
- Status: Unconfirmed — pending the official sidang isbat
Predicted 2027 Holiday Window
Idul Adha is always a national public holiday (libur nasional) in Indonesia, so the day itself is expected to be a paid day off once confirmed. What is not yet known is whether a cuti bersama will be attached to it in 2027.
| Date (estimated) | Day | Expected status |
|---|---|---|
| 15 May 2027 | Saturday | Day of Arafah (estimated) / weekend |
| 16 May 2027 | Sunday | Idul Adha (estimated) — national holiday, subject to sidang isbat |
| 17 May 2027 | Monday | Possible cuti bersama (not yet decreed) or alternate Idul Adha date |
Because the estimated date lands on a Sunday, the practical long weekend depends entirely on whether a Monday cuti bersama is added. We will update this guide once the 2027 SKB is published.
Your Rights Under Indonesian Labour Law
These entitlements are evergreen and do not depend on the 2027 decree. They apply to every Idul Adha once the national holiday date is set.
National Holidays Are Paid Days Off
Under Law No. 13 of 2003 (UU Ketenagakerjaan) and Government Regulation PP 35/2021, national holidays are paid days off for every private sector employee. Idul Adha is a national holiday, so the confirmed day will be paid.
Your employer cannot deduct a national holiday from your annual leave entitlement.
Cuti Bersama Is Different
A joint leave day (cuti bersama) is mandatory for civil servants but only recommended for private companies. If a cuti bersama is decreed for Idul Adha 2027, your employer decides whether to observe it.
Key points for private sector employees:
- Optional for private firms: the government encourages but does not require it
- Usually deducted from annual leave: if your company observes it, the day typically comes off your 12-day annual leave entitlement
- Sometimes a free extra day: some employers grant it without deducting leave — check your employment agreement
- Communicated in advance: your employer should confirm the policy clearly once the 2027 SKB is out
If You’re Asked to Work on Idul Adha
Working on a confirmed national holiday triggers premium overtime pay under PP 35/2021. These rates are evergreen and will apply to the Idul Adha 2027 holiday once the date is official.
Overtime Pay Rates
For employees on a 5-day work week, the holiday overtime thresholds are as follows.
- First 8 hours: 200% of your regular hourly wage
- 9th hour: 300% of your regular hourly wage
- 10th to 12th hours: 400% of your regular hourly wage
For employees on a 6-day work week, the thresholds shift: the first 7 hours at 200%, the 8th hour at 300%, and the 9th to 11th hours at 400%.
This compensation is mandatory and cannot be replaced with a substitute day off.
