Argentina Sets Four-Day Weekend as Peru Confirms Dec. 8–9 Holidays and Tijuana Marks Local Day Off

Officials outline who is covered by each designation and the pay rules for work on holidays.

Overview

  • Argentina’s November break runs from Friday 21 to Monday 24 after the government declared Friday a tourism non-working day and moved the National Sovereignty Day holiday to Monday.
  • Work performed on the Monday national holiday in Argentina must be paid at double rate under the Labor Contract Law, while Friday’s non-working status is optional for employers with regular pay.
  • Argentina’s next nationwide break falls on Monday 8 December for the Inmaculada Concepción, creating a three-day weekend.
  • Peru will observe consecutive national holidays on Monday 8 and Tuesday 9 December, with labor law granting paid rest and requiring an additional 100% surcharge if worked without substitute time off.
  • Separate local measures include Moquegua’s regional non-working day with public school suspensions on Tuesday 25 November and Tijuana’s Monday 24 November municipal day off limited to city staff with emergency services on guard.
