2026 Holiday Calendars Published: National Dates Fixed, Local Asuetos Create Uneven Time Off

Mexico sets 2026 mandatory rest dates with triple pay for those who work, clarifying what employees can expect on New Year’s Day.

Overview

  • Argentina formally released its 2026 holiday schedule via Jefatura de Gabinete’s Resolution 164/2025, listing national feriados and designated non‑working days.
  • Tucumán decreed an administrative asueto for Friday, January 2, 2026 (Decree 3.935/1), applying to provincial public administration and selected rural communes only.
  • Argentina’s official calendar also reflects highly localized pauses, including a non‑working day for Banco Provincia staff in Carlos Casares on Thursday, January 8, and a reported local date in Ranchos on January 15.
  • Mexico’s Profedet published the 2026 días de descanso obligatorio under the Federal Labor Law, and Articles 74–75 confirm workers who labor on those days, including January 1, must receive effectively triple pay.
  • Cross‑country guides note variability and disputes: Spanish outlets differ on whether there are eight or nine nationwide festivos, Colombia lists 18 national holidays with several moved to Mondays, and a Peruvian report citing El Peruano about a nationwide public‑sector non‑working day on January 2 is presented as contested.
