Peruvian Prime Minister Javier Velasquez Quesquen announced that the country's Council of Ministers on Wednesday approved a decree eliminating non-working days throughout the year.
With the approval of this decree, the Independence Day holidays (July 28th), Christmas holidays (December 25th), January 1st and May 1st will be the only non-working days.
He stated that the rule would come into force tomorrow and that it does not mean to pay overtime or extend civil servants’ working hours, but rationalize the human resources by setting shifts.
Velasquez said that the Presidency of the Council of Ministers (PCM) will attend all weekends, beginning this week.
On the other hand, he announced the establishment of ministerial committees which will travel to the countries belonging to the Union of South American Nations (Unasur) as part of the international crusade to sensitize against the arms race in the region.
