Overview
- The Milei administration and business groups are negotiating an internal draft in the Consejo de Mayo without union consensus, as the CGT rejects key provisions.
- Vacations would be set within an annual window from October 1 to April 30 with 45 days’ written notice, formalized splitting into week‑long blocks, and a guarantee of at least one summer period every three years.
- A new Article 26 replaces the current sick‑leave regime with an employer‑paid, non‑remunerative and non‑contributory benefit equal to 80% of net pay, preserving only health‑plan contributions.
- Sick‑leave duration would be three or six months based on tenure, extended to six or twelve months for workers with family dependents, with suspensions not affecting payment and a two‑year rule for chronic recurrences.
- Severance would be recalculated as one month per year or fraction over three months using the best monthly pay of the last year, with caps set at three times the relevant convenio average, a 67% floor, exclusion of the bonus, and an option for collective agreements to replace indemnity with an employer‑funded cessation fund.
