Great! Without Implementing Flexible Work Arrangements, Depok City Government Employees Must Report to the Office on April 8.
Depok – Civil Servants in the Depok City Government environment are confirmed to return to work on Tuesday, April 8, 2025, after undergoing a national holiday period and collective leave for the Saka New Year’s Day Nyepi 1947 and Idulfitri 1446 Hijriah.
This certainty refers to the Joint Decree of 3 Ministers which sets the collective leave period from March 31 to April 7, 2025.

About: Saka New Year’s Day Nyepi
Nyepi, also known as the “Day of Silence,” marks the Saka New Year in Bali, Indonesia, and is a Hindu celebration observed with silence, fasting, and meditation. Typically falling in March, the festival is preceded by colorful parades featuring “ogoh-ogoh,” large papier-mâché demons representing evil spirits, which are paraded and then burned to drive away malevolent forces. On Nyepi itself, the island comes to a standstill: no one travels, works, or partakes in any form of entertainment, and lights are kept low, to reflect and cleanse the soul for the new year.
About: Idulfitri
Idulfitri, also known as Eid al-Fitr, marks the end of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of fasting. This significant celebration is observed by Muslims worldwide and involves communal prayers, festive meals, and giving to charity, embodying a time of thanksgiving and joy. Traditionally, it also includes the practice of Zakat al-Fitr, a form of alms given to the poor to purify those who fast from any indecent act or speech and to help the needy celebrate the festival.
