Argentina Sets Nov. 21–24 Four-Day Weekend as Peru Confirms No National Extension After Nov. 1

Officials stress the distinction between mandatory holidays versus optional non-working days to clarify pay and attendance.

Overview

  • Argentina’s schedule pairs an optional tourism non-working day on Friday, Nov. 21 with a moved national holiday on Monday, Nov. 24 for Día de la Soberanía Nacional under Law 27.399.
  • Private employers may require work on Nov. 21 at regular pay, while work on Nov. 24 must be paid at double under Argentina’s Labor Contract Law 20.744.
  • The Argentine government framed the four-day break as a tool to boost domestic tourism toward year-end.
  • Peru’s Decree Legislative No. 713 recognizes only Saturday, Nov. 1 as a national holiday in November 2025, and the Education Ministry said classes proceed on Monday, Nov. 3.
  • Regional exceptions apply: Nov. 4 is a legally established holiday in Puno and Sullana in Peru, and several Argentine municipalities set local administrative asuetos around Nov. 10–11 affecting public-sector operations.
