Garrahan Hospital Approves 60% Basic Pay Rise for Staff, Retroactive to October

Because fixed bonuses stay in place, the practical increase in workers' paychecks is expected to be about 35% to 40%.

Overview

  • The hospital's Medical Direction and Council approved a 61% increase on the basic allowance under Administrative Decision 29/2025.
  • The measure covers plant staff, public employment contracts, fellows and residents with Institutional Scholarships.
  • The raise is retroactive to October, and the hospital will advance the payments from its own funds pending national transfers so staff see the change in the coming days.
  • Fixed monthly bonuses granted in September—ARS 350,000 for non‑assistential staff and ARS 450,000 for assistential staff—will be maintained.
  • Unions APyT and ATE hailed the result as a historic win after roughly six months of strikes and mobilizations, and they are pressing to reverse strike‑related deductions and for full implementation of the Pediatrics Emergency Law.
