Argentina Reaches Provisional Deal on Domestic Workers’ Pay With 2.7% Raise and $14,000 Bonus

The accord remains provisional pending signatures at the ministry, with the non‑remunerative bonus excluded from aguinaldo calculations.

Overview

  • The CNTCP agreed to lift minimum scales by 1.4% in November and 1.3% in December, calculated on September values after October saw no update.
  • The package adds a non‑remunerative $14,000 monthly payment for November, December and January for workers exceeding 16 hours per week.
  • Because the extra is non‑remunerative, it does not integrate bases for the aguinaldo or certain contributions, affecting the effective benefit.
  • Figures released by media are provisional; formal signatures and Boletín Oficial publication are expected the next business day.
  • As a reference, ‘tareas generales’ with retiro would be about $3,095.73 per hour and $379,784.94 per month in November; the change affects more than 1.3 million workers, with 1% annual seniority and 30% zona desfavorable supplements still applying amid high inflation.
