Commerce Workers’ Day Shifted to Monday, Sept. 29 Under Nationwide Sector Deal

The change awaits labor homologation under Law 26.541, which grants holiday‑equivalent pay protections for the sector.

Overview

  • FAECYS and the main employer chambers (CAC, CAME, UDECA) signed an agreement moving the 2025 observance from Friday, Sept. 26, to Monday, Sept. 29 to enable a long weekend and limit Friday disruptions.
  • Under Law 26.541 and the Labor Contract Law, employees may take the day off with normal pay or work voluntarily for a 100% wage premium.
  • Unions report that major supermarkets, shopping centers and large retail chains plan to close on Sept. 29, while owner‑operated small shops often open.
  • In Mendoza, the Centro Empleados de Comercio set the observance for Monday, Sept. 22 through a local accord, announcing a province‑wide retail shutdown that day.
  • The national pact was submitted to the Secretaría de Trabajo for homologation and potential publication in the Boletín Oficial.
