The change gives union‑covered retail staff a weekday rest under rules that preserve pay and require extra compensation for anyone who works.

Overview

  • A national agreement between FAECYS and employer chambers transferred the Day of the Employee of Commerce from Saturday, Sept. 26 to Monday, Sept. 28, 2026 so workers can take the holiday on a weekday.
  • The transfer applies to employees covered by the Convenio Colectivo de Trabajo 130/75 and affects large supermarkets, wholesale chains and shopping centers while owner‑attended small shops may open.
  • Labor rules require that any employee who works the day must receive a 100% surcharge equal to double pay and employees who do not work keep their normal monthly salary and benefits.
  • Provincial authorities and local unions can vary implementation and some jurisdictions use different local rules, and the Subsecretaría de Trabajo in Salta reviewed the accord and confirmed it complies with labor regulations.
  • The holiday traces to 1934 labor reforms and was formalized by Law 26.541 in 2009, a legal framework that now protects more than a million commerce workers and shapes how retailers plan staffing and closures.
