The joint holiday is the Indonesian version of Cuti Bersama, which is a government project that adds non-working days to national holidays.

These combined holidays are usually done in conjunction with big religious occasions like Eid al-Fitr, Christmas, or the New Year celebrations. Although they are not mandatory to be adhered to by the individual companies, they are formally embraced by government bodies and most of the state-owned companies. Cuti Bersama is a significant aspect of the Indonesian culture of annual holidays, and in most instances, is obeyed by the private corporations in order to fit the national trends and demands of its staff.
