Overview
- The Nov. 20 Día de la Soberanía Nacional is moved to Monday, Nov. 24, and Friday, Nov. 21, is designated non-laborable, producing a four-day break.
- Employers must grant the Monday holiday or pay double rates to those who work, while Friday attendance depends on each employer or collective agreement.
- The change applies the rule that holidays falling on Thursday or Friday shift to the following Monday under Article 6 of Law 27.399.
- The observance commemorates the 1845 Battle of Vuelta de Obligado and the defense led under Juan Manuel de Rosas.
- Separately, Tuesday, Nov. 18, is a local holiday only in Monte and Ferré for their founding anniversaries.
