Finally, the Government will give staff leave of the national public administration on December 24 and 31, that was reported this Thursday in the Official Gazette. However, the ruling party explained that this measure does not reach banking and financial institutions.
In 2024, both Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve fall on a workweek day. With a view to facilitating the classic holiday celebrations and give a boost to tourismthe Government decided to give administrative leave during both days.
The Government confirmed holiday for the festivities
With the publication of Decree 1108/2024 in the Official Gazette of that date, the Government confirmed that both December 24th and 31st will give staff leave of the national public administration. The measure bears the signature of President Javier Milei and the Chief of Staff Guillermo Francos.
In detail, the Government considered that Christmas and New Year “traditionally constitute a reason for celebrations for all Argentine and foreign families that live in our territory.” Along these same lines, they assured that these days “families carry out the preparations for your meetings“.
In that sense and with the objective of “ensure reasonable time for organization and enjoyment of family holidays”, the ruling party confirmed the holiday for all employees of the national public administration and thus “facilitate the classic meetings” that are held.
It should be noted that the holiday “does not reach banking institutions and financial entities”. Furthermore, from the libertarian administration they detailed that “this does not imply any budgetary expenditure for the NATIONAL STATE and will guarantee that all Argentines can enjoy the holidays in a framework of freedom.”
