Overview
- Peru formally made Thursday, July 23 a national holiday by Law N.° 31822 to mark Día de la Fuerza Aérea and the day applies to both public and private workers.
- Peru's labor regulator Sunafil said private employees who work on July 23 without a compensatory rest are entitled to 'triple pay' composed of the holiday pay, the pay for hours worked, and an extra 100% surcharge.
- The Peruvian government also declared Monday, July 27 a compensable non‑working day for public servants by Decreto Supremo N.° 075‑2026‑PCM, producing a continuous five‑day break for state workers around Fiestas Patrias.
- In Argentina President Javier Milei offered a national holiday for the national team's celebration but the squad declined a mass reception, so no nationwide holiday was declared for July 21 and the plan was limited to smaller commemorations.
- Several Buenos Aires municipalities have issued local asuetos on different late‑July dates for anniversaries and patronal feasts that give municipal staff and some local bank offices days off while the next national long weekend in Argentina remains Monday, August 17.
