If a fixed statutory holiday lands on a weekend in Santa Cruz, the following Monday is commonly declared an official substitute non-working day by government notification.
Santa Cruz runs on the America/Lima time zone, so statutory holidays here fall on the same local calendar date as the rest of Peru — there's no cross-timezone shift to account for.
