Argentina Public Holiday Observance Rules

1. When a Public Holiday Falls on a Weekend

- If a public holiday falls on a Saturday or Sunday, it is not automatically moved to a weekday.

- However, some holidays are considered "movable holidays", which means they may be shifted to a nearby Monday to create a long weekend.

2. When a Public Holiday Falls on a Saturday

- The holiday remains on Saturday, and no automatic replacement holiday is given.

- Private businesses and employers may provide an extra day off, but this is not mandatory.

3. When a Public Holiday Falls on a Sunday

- The holiday remains on Sunday, and no automatic substitute day is granted.

- However, for some major holidays like Independence Day (July 9th), the government may declare a substitution holiday on Monday, but this is not guaranteed every year.

4. Bridge Holidays (Feriados con Fines Turísticos)

- Argentina has an official system of bridge holidays, where additional holidays are declared to create long weekends for tourism.

- Each year, the government selects two or three bridge holidays, typically on Mondays or Fridays, to extend weekends.

5. Special Cases for Public Holidays

- Movable Holidays: Some holidays are officially moved to the closest Monday, including:

Day of Respect for Cultural Diversity (October 12)
National Sovereignty Day (November 20)
Holiday for tourism purposes (dates vary)

- Fixed Holidays: Other holidays are always observed on the same date, even if they fall on a weekend, such as:

Independence Day (July 9)
May Revolution Day (May 25)
Christmas (December 25)

- Religious Holidays: Christian holidays like Good Friday and Easter Monday remain fixed and are widely observed.

6. Additional Notes

- The Argentine government publishes an official list of public holidays each year, specifying which holidays are movable and which are fixed.

- Private sector observance varies, but most businesses and schools follow the official calendar.

- Employees working on public holidays are entitled to double pay or a compensatory rest day, depending on labor agreements.

- The tourism sector greatly benefits from long weekends, and bridge holidays are designed to encourage domestic travel.
