Domestic Workers’ October Pay Holds at September Levels as Bonus Ends

Authorities stress ARCA registration with automatic debit to ensure contributions.

Overview

  • Official wage tables for registered domestic workers show October minimums unchanged from September after the final tranche of the latest deal, with examples such as $3,052.99 per hour for general tasks with retiro.
  • The extraordinary non‑remunerative bonus paid in three parts from July to September is no longer in effect, so October take‑home pay drops to the basic scale.
  • Employers must register staff and make required social security payments via Form F.102/RT, and ARCA has enabled an automatic‑debit option under Resolution 5723/2025.
  • The CNTCP has not opened a new bargaining round; statutory additions remain, including 1% per year for seniority and a 30% supplement in designated southern zones.
  • Construction sector scales are updated for October with zone differentials, though reports diverge on the latest adjustment, with some citing 3% and others noting 2.2% plus fixed sums.
