Argentina Sets Feb. 24 Meeting to Update Domestic Workers’ Minimum Pay

An official call brings the tripartite commission back to negotiate a 2026 wage revision after months without increases.

Overview

  • Resolution 1/2026 published in the Official Gazette schedules the Commission’s session for Feb. 24 at 11:00 at the Secretariat of Labor in Buenos Aires, with in‑person or virtual attendance allowed.
  • The agenda is to review the minimum pay for household workers and decide whether any raise will be in a single tranche or in installments, including possible category adjustments and supplements.
  • The Commission includes representatives of workers and employers along with the Economy Ministry, the Human Capital Ministry, and the Labor Secretariat, which presides.
  • No changes are scheduled for February pay, which mirrors January after the bonus integration; for general tasks the floor is $3,250.10 per hour and $398,722.14 monthly with retiro, and $3,494.25 and $441,806.54 without retiro.
