  • Under CCT 589/2010, October 2 is a scheduled day off for building caretakers, with double pay if they work or a 20% premium if they take the day.
  • October 2025 wage tables list first‑category monthly pay at $843,164 for permanent caretakers with housing and $991,055 without housing, with mayordomos up to $1,031,542 and intendentes at $1,262,598.
  • Sector pay was recently adjusted by a 1.4% increase applied in September plus a $50,000 remunerative sum that will roll into basic salaries starting with December paychecks.
  • FATERYH’s September schedule also showed wide variation by category and housing, with some non‑housing roles surpassing $1,000,000, and lower‑responsibility or part‑time positions earning significantly less.
  • Workers in La Plata describe split shifts and building maintenance duties as the core of the job, while noting pressures from rising condo fees and the use of cleaning companies, as well as mixed reactions to the hit series El Encargado.
