Overview
- Official listings in El Peruano confirm the remaining 2025 holidays: Nov. 1 (All Saints’ Day), Dec. 8 (Immaculate Conception), Dec. 9 (Battle of Ayacucho) and Dec. 25 (Christmas), within a year that has 16 national holidays.
- The alignment of the Dec. 8–9 feriados with a preceding weekend creates a nationwide break running Saturday to Tuesday, Dec. 6–9.
- Under Lima Chamber of Commerce guidance, employees who work a feriado without a substitute day off must be paid triple: the holiday pay already included in salary, pay for hours worked that day, plus an additional 100% of the daily rate.
- Public-sector employees automatically observe these days off, while private-sector schedules for weekends and holidays depend on each company’s operations and policies.
- Agencia Andina notes that failing to grant required compensation or rest is a very serious labor infraction carrying fines of roughly just over 1,000 soles to more than 24,000 soles.
