Argentina Applies August Wage Increase and Launches ARCA Auto-Debit for Domestic Workers

Formal homologation is awaited in the Boletín Oficial ahead of an October review of bonus amounts that still vary across reports.

Overview

  • CNTCP Resolution 1/2025 delivered a second 1% wage increase for August, marking the third tranche of a four-step 6.5% adjustment.
  • August wage grids set new minimum rates across categories, with niñeras earning $3,261 per hour with leave and $3,647 without.
  • ARCA’s automatic debit system is now available for employers to streamline domestic worker social security and health contributions.
  • Reporting discrepancies persist on non-remunerative bonus levels, citing top-tier figures of either $9,500 or $10,000 for more than 16 weekly hours.
  • The wage deal still requires formal publication in the Boletín Oficial before a scheduled CNTCP review in October.
