Argentina Confirms Four-Day Weekend With Tourism Friday and Transferred Holiday Monday

Argentina's labor law separates an optional tourism Friday from a compulsory Monday holiday with double pay for work.

Overview

  • Friday, November 21, is a government-designated tourism non-working day under Decree 1027/2024, and private employers decide whether operations pause or continue.
  • Monday, November 24, is the transferred Día de la Soberanía Nacional; work performed that day must be paid at double rate under Labor Contract Law 20.744 (art. 181).
  • Working on the tourism Friday is paid at the normal single rate and attendance depends on each company, as defined by article 182 of the labor law.
  • The November 21 designation is the third and final tourism non-working day used by the Executive in 2025, following similar dates in May and August.
  • The commemoration marks the 1845 Battle of Vuelta de Obligado, and the official calendar still lists two national holidays after this weekend: December 8 and December 25.
