In March 2026, commerce employees in Argentina are receiving their salaries with the inclusion of two fixed amounts as per the latest collective agreement between their union and employers. The agreement outlines a non-remunerative sum of $60,000 to be paid during December 2025, which will also be paid in January, February, and March 2026, before being incorporated into basic salary scales in April 2026.

Additionally, employees will see a previously established fixed amount of $40,000 alongside the new $60,000 sum, resulting in these components being clearly detailed in their payslips for the month of March. This approach is designed to ease the burden on workers during a challenging economic period in Argentina, which has been characterized by high inflation and economic instability.

The agreement between the union and companies in the commerce sector reflects ongoing negotiations to secure better working conditions and fair compensation for employees. As these fixed sums are implemented, it is hoped that they will provide some immediate financial relief, which is crucial in the current economic landscape of the country where the cost of living continues to rise.
