Private Sector Prophet Muhammad Holiday 2026 and Workers' Rights
The government has announced that the Prophet Muhammad's Birthday holiday for the private sector in 2026 will be on Thursday, August 27th, instead of Tuesday, August 25th. This change is part of efforts to move official holidays to the weekend to improve organization while maintaining workers' rights. These arrangements are based on Law No. 14 of 2025, which guarantees employees a full paid holiday during religious occasions. Employers may also choose to have employees work during the holiday with financial compensation or an alternate day off, with exams continuing as scheduled. Therefore, workers will receive a full paid official holiday, with their legal rights preserved if they work during the holiday.
