Knowing whether a day is a holiday or a non-working day is key, as it impacts salary payments and the obligation to attend work. According to Noticias Argentina Agency, citing a report by Celeste Sawczuk, Friday the 21st and Monday the 24th have different statuses. Is Friday, November 21st a holiday? No. If work is performed, the worker must receive double their usual remuneration. Why is Monday, November 24th a holiday? Yes, Monday, November 24th is a national holiday. Buenos Aires, November 17 (NA) — With the arrival of the last long weekend of the year, doubt grows about the status of the upcoming Friday, November 21st. The original date of the commemoration (November 20th) is moved to the following Monday this year to form a long weekend. Is it the last long weekend of 2025? Yes. The next opportunity for an extended break of this kind will not be until 2026. What holidays are left in 2025? After November, the remaining national holidays on the 2025 calendar are: Monday, December 8th (Immaculate Conception of Mary). Thursday, December 25th (Christmas). The official calendar of Javier Milei's government establishes that Friday, November 21, 2025, is a 'non-working day for tourism purposes'. The official schedule released by the Argentine government indicates that the November long weekend 'thus constitutes the last 'extra long' of the year'. It commemorates National Sovereignty Day. It is an official 'bridge' designed to encourage local tourism. What is the difference and how is it paid? The distinction between both figures is crucial, especially for private sector employees: Non-Working Day (Friday, November 21): The employer has the power to decide whether to work or not. If work is done, it is paid as a regular day, without special overtime. National Holiday (Monday, November 24): The rest is mandatory for all workers.
