May Calendars Set, With Local Exceptions Across Mexico, Argentina and Peru

Check local notices as pay rules and days off differ by place.

Overview

  • Mexico’s Education Ministry lists May 1, 5, 15 and 29 as the official no‑class dates for basic education and rejects a nationwide six‑day school break.
  • Aguascalientes moves its school break to April 20 into early May to coincide with the San Marcos Fair, and Hidalgo extends a local break from May 1 through May 5 with classes back on May 6.
  • Buenos Aires province in Argentina confirms local non‑working days that target public employees and Banco Provincia branches, including Marcos Paz and Tres Arroyos on Friday, April 24, Navarro on Thursday, April 30, and Mayor Buratovich on Monday, April 27.
  • Holiday pay rules vary by law: Mexico mandates triple pay for those who work on Friday, May 1, while Argentina requires double pay for work on the national holidays of May 1 and May 25, and Peru applies triple pay on May 1 if there is no substitute rest.
  • The mixed pattern means some schools and public offices close on different dates, which affects childcare, bank access and payroll planning for families, employers and workers.
