Overview
- The long weekend runs from Friday, November 21, to Monday, November 24, with Friday declared a non-working tourism day and the national holiday transferred to Monday.
- Friday’s status is established by Decree 1027/2024 under Law 27.399, which allows up to three tourism-focused non-working days per year.
- Under the Labor Contract Law 20.744, article 182 treats the Friday as employer‑discretionary with normal pay if worked, while article 181 grants double pay for work performed on the Monday holiday.
- Application varies by sector, as public offices, banks and many schools typically observe the bridge day while private employers decide whether to open or close.
- Several Buenos Aires municipalities, including Olavarría, Presidente Perón and Dennehy (Nueve de Julio), added Tuesday, November 25, as a local holiday, creating a five‑day break for residents there.
