How the working week works in Chile
Chile passed a law in 2023 cutting the working week from 45 to 40 hours, phasing in gradually until 2028. Some holidays are moved to the nearest Monday by statute, and two are 'irrenunciable', meaning even most retail must close: New Year's Day, Labour Day, Independence Day, and Christmas.
