Overview
- Peru’s Supreme Decree No. 042-2025-PCM makes Friday, January 2, 2026 a compensable non-working day for public employees, distinct from a national holiday.
- Public-sector hours not worked on January 2 must be recovered later, and each entity will set its own compensation schedule.
- Private employers in Peru may adopt the January 2 pause by agreement with workers, since the measure is not mandatory for the private sector.
- Argentina’s Cabinet Resolution 164/2025 confirms three 2026 tourism non-working days: March 23, July 10 and December 7, to create extended weekends.
- Local measures create a patchwork in Argentina, including a January 2 administrative asueto for Tucumán’s provincial administration, a December 30 local day in San Vicente, and a January 7 non-working day for Banco Provincia staff in Tres Picos, Tornquist.
