Argentina Confirms Four-Day Long Weekend for Nov. 21–24, With Banks Closed

Authorities clarify labor rules for the break, distinguishing a discretionary Friday from a mandatory Monday.

Overview

  • Friday, Nov. 21, is an official non-working day for tourism set by Decree 1027/2024, and attendance is left to each employer with ordinary pay if worked.
  • Monday, Nov. 24, is the transferred Día de la Soberanía Nacional, a mandatory national holiday that requires double pay if worked under the Labor Contract Law.
  • The Central Bank (BCRA) lists Nov. 21–24 as non-business days for banking in Communications C99321 and C100942, with in-person services resuming Tuesday, Nov. 25.
  • Digital channels, ATMs and electronic payments will operate during the closure, but branch-dependent procedures must wait until banks reopen.
  • Separate local observances in November remain in force—such as Gálvez and Jujuy on the 17th, Ferré and Monte on the 18th, and Monte Hermoso on the 28th—while Peru has issued no national decree changing November work status despite online claims.
