Commerce Employee Day Moves to Monday, Sept. 29 in Argentina

The move seeks to reduce Friday sales disruption under a pact between FAECYS with sector business chambers.

Overview

  • Set by law for Sept. 26, the sectoral holiday will be observed on Monday, Sept. 29 under a FAECYS–business pact that seeks to limit Friday sales losses.
  • Supermarkets and shopping centers are expected to close that day in much of the country, though openings may vary locally.
  • Commerce employees who work on the moved date must receive double pay, while those who do not work have a paid day off as provided by labor law.
  • The Atlantic Zone commerce union confirmed the local transfer in Mar del Plata through an agreement with business chambers.
  • Unions report that a wage recomposition accord reached with employers awaits government homologation, delaying relief for about 1.5 million workers.
