Argentine Senators’ Gross Pay to Exceed ARS 10.2 Million From November Under New Staff Pay Deal

The jump stems from a 2024 rule tying senators’ pay to the staff salary module set in the latest APL agreement.

Los senadores pasarán a cobrar más de $10 millones a partir de noviembre.

Overview

  • The APL paritaria sets a six‑month path that lifts the module to about ARS 2,554.84, with an accumulated 7.52% increase through November and monthly bonuses of ARS 25,000 (Jun–Aug) and ARS 20,000 (Sep–Nov).
  • Senators’ remuneration is fixed at 4,000 modules per month—2,500 for the base diet, 1,000 for representation and 500 for desarraigo—so the higher module value mechanically raises the gross total.
  • The updated amount will apply to November earnings and appear on pay slips issued in early December, according to chamber estimates.
  • Only about half the chamber will receive the automatic update because many lawmakers previously filed formal opt‑outs under a decree issued by Senate president Victoria Villarruel.
  • The principal beneficiaries will be most of Unión por la Patria senators who did not renounce the adjustment, while deductions including Income Tax reduce the net below the headline gross figure.
