Overview
- Peru’s Supreme Decree No. 042-2025-PCM designates Friday, January 2, 2026 as a compensable non-working day for public-sector workers.
- Combined with the New Year’s Day holiday on Thursday, January 1, the measure creates a four-day weekend for many public employees.
- In Peru’s private sector the date is optional and only applies if employers and workers agree in advance on taking the day and how to recover the hours.
- Peruvian law differentiates holidays that grant paid rest and premium pay if worked from non-working days that require later recovery of hours without extra pay.
- In Argentina, Thursday, January 8, 2026 is a localized non-working day tied to Carlos Casares’ anniversary and applies only to Banco Provincia employees serving there, leaving the national holiday calendar unchanged.
