Overview
- There is no official decree advancing the break to Friday, Dec. 5, so work and classes on that day remain scheduled normally.
- Schools suspend classes only on Monday, Dec. 8, and Tuesday, Dec. 9, according to reporting from El Peruano.
- The holidays creating the long weekend are the Immaculate Conception on Monday, Dec. 8, and the Battle of Ayacucho on Tuesday, Dec. 9.
- Peruvian rules distinguish paid national holidays from compensable non-working days, with Dec. 26 designated this year as a non-working day subject to hour recovery.
- If employees work on a holiday without a substitute day off, the Chamber of Commerce of Lima says they must receive triple pay, and employers face fines for noncompliance.
