Overview

• Argentina’s Jefatura de Gabinete formalized the transfer of the Oct. 12 holiday to Friday, Oct. 10, 2025 via Resolution 139/2025 published in the Boletín Oficial.
• Decree 614/2025 established authority to move ‘trasladable’ holidays that fall on Saturdays or Sundays to the prior Friday or following Monday.
• The Friday date is a national feriado with mandatory rest, and employees who work that day must be paid double under Argentina’s Ley 20.744.
• The change creates a three‑day long weekend from Friday, Oct. 10 through Sunday, Oct. 12, a measure the government says is designed to stimulate internal tourism and consumption.
• Peru’s 2025 calendar remains at 16 national holidays with the next on Wednesday, Oct. 8 (Combate de Angamos), and Peruvian guidance notes triple pay if employees work a feriado without compensatory rest.
