Argentina's public holidays are set by Law 27.399 of 2017 consolidating the prior Law 21.329 and amendments. The list distinguishes feriados inamovibles (fixed-date national holidays) from feriados trasladables (movable holidays that can be shifted by executive decree to a Monday). Fixed holidays include New Year's Day, Carnival (Monday and Tuesday before Lent), Day of Remembrance for Truth and Justice on 24 March marking the 1976 coup anniversary, Malvinas Veterans' Day on 2 April, Labour Day, May Revolution Day on 25 May, Flag Day on 20 June, Independence Day on 9 July, San Martín Day in August, Day of Respect for Cultural Diversity in October, Day of National Sovereignty in November, Immaculate Conception and Christmas Day.
The Ley de Contrato de Trabajo (Law 20.744) articles 196 to 207 set the standard private-sector week at 48 hours over six days, normally Monday to Friday plus Saturday morning in offices, with the modern norm being Monday to Friday at 9 hours. Sunday is the statutory weekly rest day under article 204. The Civil and Commercial Procedure Code (Law 17.454) article 156 rolls procedural deadlines falling on a non-working day to the next día hábil. Settlement of peso transactions runs on the Banco Central de la República Argentina's MEP (Medio Electrónico de Pagos), which observes the national holiday list including declared puentes.
