Overview
- The Labor Secretariat convened the National Commission for Domestic Work to a Nov. 7 plenary at 10:30 under Resolution 2/2025, published in the Official Gazette, to analyze minimum pay.
- Official minimum scales remain unchanged for November from the September grid published by ARCA, with general tasks paid ARS 3,052.99 per hour with live‑out and ARS 3,293.99 without.
- Two mandatory add‑ons apply where relevant: a 1% seniority bonus per uninterrupted year with the same employer and a 30% unfavorable‑zone supplement in specified provinces and Patagones.
- Outlets and unions report market pay often far exceeds the scale, commonly ARS 6,000–8,000 per hour and roughly a 65% average gap versus the official minima.
- Employers must register domestic workers in ARCA to ensure social contributions, health coverage and other labor protections, with any new commission decision to take effect once gazetted.
