Is 15 June 2026 a Holiday? Check the Public Holiday Schedule for June
Many people have begun searching for information regarding whether 15 June 2026 is a holiday. This is because the date falls directly before the commemoration of the Islamic New Year, 1 Muharram 1448 Hijriah, which has been designated as a national holiday. Consequently, there are questions as to whether Monday, 15 June 2026, which acts as a ‘bridge day’, is also a red date for a national holiday or collective leave.
15 June 2026 is Not a Holiday
Based on the Joint Ministerial Decree (SKB) regarding National Holidays and Collective Leave for 2026, 1lag 15 June 2026 is not included as a national holiday or collective leave. This means that Monday, 15 June 2026, remains a regular working and school day. Individuals working in government agencies and the private sector will continue their activities according to the regulations applicable to their respective workplaces. Meanwhile, the Islamic New Year, 1 Muharram 1448 Hijriah, is established as a national holiday falling on Tuesday, 16 June 2026. Therefore, only 16 June 2026 holds the status of a public holiday during this period.
Recommendations for Leave and Long Weekends
Although it is not an official holiday, 15 June 2026 could be an ideal choice for taking additional leave for employees who still have remaining annual leave entitlements. As it falls on a Monday and is adjacent to the Islamic New Year national holiday on Tuesday, 16 June 2026, taking leave on that date has the potential to create a longer holiday period.
The following is an illustration of a potential long weekend:
Saturday, 13 June 2026: Weekend
Sunday, 14 June 2026: Weekend
Monday, 15 June 2026: Additional leave (optional)
Tuesday, 16 June 2026: Islamic New Year 1448 H National Holiday
Under this scheme, employees could enjoy a four-day consecutive break by using only one day of leave. However, leave applications must still follow the policies and approval processes of their respective companies or institutions.
