❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is the difference between "Feriados Inamovibles" and "Feriados Trasladables" in Argentina?
Under Ley 27.399, Feriados Inamovibles are fixed national holidays (such as May 25, July 9, and Carnival) that must be observed on their exact calendar date. Feriados Trasladables (such as General San Martín Day and Cultural Diversity Day) are legally transferred to designated Mondays to promote domestic tourism by creating long weekends.
Q2: How do "Días No Laborables" differ from "Feriados Nacionales" under Argentine Labor Law?
Under the Labor Contract Law (LCT No. 20.744), working on a Feriado Nacional is prohibited by default, and employees who work receive double pay (200%). On a Día No Laborable (such as Holy Thursday or Jewish and Muslim religious holidays), reporting to work is optional for employers in the private sector; if worked, employees receive regular standard pay without double-time surcharges.
Q3: Does Bolsas y Mercados Argentinos (BYMA) close on "Día del Bancario"?
Yes. In addition to all gazetted national public holidays and decreed tourist bridge days, BYMA and Argentine financial entities close operations on November 6 in observance of Bank Worker’s Day (Día del Bancario), suspending all equity, bond, and derivatives trading and clearing services.
Q4: How is the academic school year structured across Argentina by the CFE?
The Federal Council of Education (CFE) establishes a nationwide baseline of at least 190 instructional days running from late February/early March through mid-December. The 2-week mid-year winter recess (Receso Invernal) is scheduled independently by each of Argentina's 23 provinces and CABA, typically staggered across the second, third, or fourth weeks of July.
