Overview

  • Decisión Administrativa 26/2025, published in the Boletín Oficial, repeals the 2004 rule that guaranteed contracted staff the same pay scale as permanent employees.
  • The repeal is justified as part of an ongoing comprehensive review of public‑sector hiring norms led by the Ministry of Deregulation and State Transformation.
  • The measure bears the signatures of Chief of Cabinet Guillermo Francos and Minister Federico Sturzenegger, and it does not set a replacement mechanism for salary setting.
  • On Thursday, Resolution 68/2025 approved a new regulation for time‑determined contracts under Article 9 of Law 25.164, standardizing forms and processing through the GDE system.
  • The new resolution, signed by Secretary Maximiliano Fariña, mandates monthly reporting of hires, renewals, extensions and terminations, and it repeals prior rules from 2002 and 2018 while updating documentation requirements.
