A few days before Easter, Argentines are already planning what they will do during the extra long weekend that will take place between Thursday, March 28 and Tuesday, April 2. However, when these dates arrive, an important question arises: should we work on Holy Thursday?
Easter: how much does fish, eggs and Easter bagels cost
Maundy Thursday (this year it falls on March 28) is not a national holiday, but rather a “non-working day.” On days like these, the employer can choose whether his employees will work or not, except for banking, insurance and related activities.
Unlike Thursday the 28th, the days that will be national holidays are Friday, March 29 (Good Friday), Monday, April 1 (tourist holiday) and Tuesday, April 2 (Veteran and War Memorial Day). Malvinas)
“Non-working day”: do you pay double?
Workers who provide service that day will receive the simple salary, and if they choose the non-working day, the day will also be paid.
How are holidays worked in Argentina paid?
In accordance with Labor Contract Law No. 20,744, employees are not required to work on national holidays in Argentina. If a worker decides to provide services on those days, the employer must remunerate him or her in a special way.
So, if an employee works on a holiday, they must receive double their regular pay as compensation for their work on that day.
Therefore, if you work three days of the extra long weekend, you have to earn the equivalent of six days of work.
What are the long weekends that there will be during 2024
– From February 10 to February 13: four-day long weekend.
