Domestic workers in Argentina are set to receive a 1.5% salary increase and a bonus determined by hours worked, following recent negotiations in the sector.
In Argentina, domestic workers are set to receive a salary increase of 1.5% along with a bonus that varies based on hours worked. This adjustment comes as a result of recent negotiations between the National Commission for Domestic Work and the Ministry of Labor representatives, reflecting ongoing efforts to improve compensation in this sector.
The salary adjustment will take effect in February and March, responding to the needs expressed by workers following a previous salary realignment that applied until January 2026. The updates are aimed at ensuring that domestic workers, who are often underpaid and undervalued, receive fair compensation reflective of their work contribution.
Apart from the salary increase, the specific bonuses each worker will receive will be established once the relevant resolution is published in the official gazette. This strategy not only aims to improve the financial situation of domestic workers but also recognizes the essential services they provide, particularly in a time when household labor is critical to family structures and economic stability in Argentina.
