Overview
- The Comisión Nacional de Trabajo en Casas Particulares published the October 1.7% increase and the new wage scale in the Boletín Oficial on Wednesday, Sept. 30, 2026.
- The update fixes hourly and monthly minima by category, with the general‑tasks hourly floor at $4,064.08 and monthly minimums ranging roughly from $498,582.06 to $548,429.23.
- The adjustment applies to both hourly and monthly workers and varies by the five job categories and by whether the worker is 'con retiro' (returns home) or 'sin retiro' (resides with employer).
- From October the basic salary will include 50% of the non‑remunerative payment paid in August, a change that will raise the base used to calculate overtime, zona desfavorable supplements and seniority pay.
- Legal rules under Law 26.844 remain in force: workers under 24 weekly hours are paid hourly, from 24 hours pay must be monthly, overtime carries 50% or 100% surcharges, zona desfavorable adds 31%, and seniority adds 1% per year.
