Overview

  • Decree 614/2025, signed by President Javier Milei and Guillermo Francos, authorizes moving transferable national holidays that fall on weekends to the prior Friday or following Monday, without affecting inamovible dates.
  • Using the new rule, Resolution 139/2025 moved the Día del Respeto a la Diversidad Cultural from Sunday, October 12, to Friday, October 10, as published in the Boletín Oficial.
  • Argentina’s school calendar confirms no classes nationwide on Thursday, September 11 (Día del Maestro), and Buenos Aires Province set a local feriado in Baigorrita for Friday, September 12 (Resolution 157/2025), creating a four‑day local break for public employees and certain bank branches.
  • Colonia Seré (Carlos Tejedor, Buenos Aires) declared Friday, September 5, a local holiday for its 122nd anniversary, producing a localized long weekend.
  • In Mexico, September 16 remains a mandatory rest day that is not moved; employees who work must receive triple pay under the LFT, banks will close per the CNBV calendar, and some schools or employers may voluntarily grant Monday, September 15, though it is not an official holiday.
