Santa Fe Enacts 7% Midyear Pay Rise by Decree for Teachers, Police and Prison Staff

The province turned to unilateral decrees after union rejection to ensure staged increases with guaranteed minimum take‑home pay.

Overview

  • The government published Decree No. 1896 formalizing a 7% teacher raise for the second semester, applied 1.5% in July, 1.5% in August, and 1% monthly from September through December based on June salaries.
  • The teacher measure extends to retirees, pensioners and substitutes, updates items such as Estado Docente and supplements, and guarantees $40,000 from July and $70,000 from October per position with proportional amounts for hours‑cátedra.
  • Decree No. 1895 transfers the same 7% scheme to police and penitentiary personnel, a sector without paritarias, mirroring the month‑by‑month tranches over July–December.
  • For security forces, the decree sets net pay floors of 777,258 pesos from July 1 and 819,375.63 pesos from December 1, ensuring no agent falls below those amounts after statutory deductions.
  • The decrees specify that non‑remunerative sums from the guarantees will count toward the second 2025 SAC payment, as officials defend the move citing acceptance of the offer by UPCN and ATE.
