ATE Accepts Government's Revised 11% Offer for Health and Central Administration

The agreement locks in a 7% August and 4% November non‑cumulative wage rise, a three‑installment non‑remunerative health bonus, with scheduled technical mesas to settle remaining structural claims.

Overview

  • ATE and the government reached acceptance of the revised package when they met on Thursday, July 16, ending the immediate stalemate in second‑semester paritaria talks.
  • The wage increase totals 11% for the semester, applied as a 7% raise in August and a 4% raise in November, calculated on June 2026 basic salaries and non‑cumulative.
  • Health workers under Régimen 15 will receive a non‑remunerative, non‑bonifiable bonus ranging from AR$150,000 to AR$360,000 paid in three instalments, with exact amounts set by salary band.
  • Negotiators agreed a new formula for the 'Adicional Mayor Horario' for X‑ray and Bioimaging staff that ATE estimates boosts that extra by about 40%, and Administration Central staff get an 11% lift to certain additional pay (adicional 077) for lower categories.
  • Several non‑salary demands remain open — including work clothing, productivity pay, conversions to permanent posts and professional reclassification — and the parties set further technical mesas, plus a government pledge to reconvene if macroeconomic variables diverge materially.
