Remember that a holiday is a mandatory rest day that is paid and can be compensated with another day off or with payment for the working day. Non-working days are dates established by the government with a Supreme Decree for the worker not to attend work, but he/she must make up for the hours missed.
Is Monday, July 31 a holiday?
It is possible that some private companies extend the days off for their employees, but Monday, July 31 is not a holiday or non-working day in Peru. The Executive Branch has not declared any law for the employees not to go to work on that date.
If you are thinking of extending your days off or traveling, you should keep in mind that the long weekend for the celebrations of National Holidays will end on Sunday, July 30, and then all companies will return to work as usual.
