In Argentina, discussions emerged regarding the scheduling of Commerce Employee Day, which falls on Saturday, September 26, 2026. Because the date falls on a weekend, there was debate over whether the Federation of Argentine Commerce and Service Employees (FAECYS) would issue a resolution to move the holiday to extend the rest period for workers.

Under Law 26.541, the day holds the same legal status as a national holiday. Employees are not required to work, though those who agree to work if requested by an employer must receive a 100% surcharge on their usual salary.

Following negotiations between unions and employers, it has been established that Commerce Employee Day will be moved to Monday, September 28. This adjustment will provide a three-day break for workers covered under Collective Bargaining Agreement 130/75. While the national calendar for September 2026 shows no official holidays, this specific sector adjustment remains a key focus for the over one million workers involved.
