Argentina, Peru and Mexico Finalize Late-2025 Holiday Calendars and Long Weekends

Authorities emphasize compensation requirements for holiday shifts, prompting banks and retailers to post special hours.

Overview

  • Argentina confirms a four‑day break from Friday 21 to Monday 24 November 2025 by pairing a tourism non‑working day with the transferred National Sovereignty Day.
  • Under Argentine labor rules, work on the Monday holiday pays double, while the Friday tourism day is optional for private employers and pays the normal rate if worked.
  • Peru’s Saturday 1 November All Saints’ Day is a national holiday; employees who work without compensatory rest are entitled to triple remuneration under Decreto Legislativo 713.
  • Peru also has a four‑day stretch from Saturday 6 to Tuesday 9 December, driven by the Inmaculada Concepción (Monday) and Batalla de Ayacucho (Tuesday) holidays.
  • Mexico retains one mandatory November holiday: Revolution Day observed on Monday 17 November, with workers who are required to labor that day entitled to triple pay under the Ley Federal del Trabajo; in Peru, major banks will close branches on 1 November while supermarkets publish special hours.
