Argentina Sets October Reference Pay for Domestic Workers as Bonus Ends

Employers must apply the ministry’s October reference minima after the temporary bonus expired.

Overview

  • The Ministry of Labor officialized October minima: $3,052.99 per hour for con retiro and $3,293.99 for sin retiro, with monthly floors of $374,541.36 and $416,485.63 for 24 or more hours.
  • The extraordinary non‑remunerative bonus was paid for the last time with the September payroll and will not appear in November settlements.
  • UPACP wage grids continue to serve as a reference for categories, though some figures still lack formal homologation.
  • The caseros category earns in October the same as in September because the final tranche of the latest paritaria took effect last month.
  • Employers must register staff in ARCA and include mandatory items such as 1% per year of seniority, social security and health contributions, vacations and aguinaldo, with a 30% supplement in designated zonas desfavorables.
