Overview
- ARCA released the updated official scales for the casas particulares regime, making the new hourly and monthly minimums binding for employers starting with August pay.
- The wage plan agreed by the CNTCP comprised four small increases — 1.8% (April), 1.6% (May), 1.5% (June) and 1.4% (July, paid in August) — and those adjustments are reflected in the published scales.
- The second 50% of a previously agreed non‑remunerative bonus was included in the July payroll and the scales incorporate that payment up to a total cap of $20,000 per employment relationship.
- The publication sets concrete category figures, for example supervisors are listed at $4,438.77 per hour with withdrawal and $553,725.91 per month, and it raises the zone‑desfavorable allowance from 30% to 31% while preserving 1% annual seniority increments.
- As a result, August pay runs at the same rates applied in July, employers must register and liquidate salaries through ARCA using the new tables, and the sector awaits a fresh paritary negotiation to set future updates.
