A statutory holiday falling on a Saturday or Sunday in La Merced doesn't simply get skipped — Argentina's gazette process typically moves the observed day off to the following Monday.
La Merced runs on the America/Argentina/Catamarca time zone, so statutory holidays here fall on the same local calendar date as the rest of Argentina — there's no cross-timezone shift to account for.
