The total increase agreed in joint ventures, signed in November 2020, was

28%, divided into three tranches

: the first two installments were 10% in December and 8% in February.

For those who pay on a weekly basis, the increase is immediately applicable with the payments.

But for those employers that pay monthly, on the other hand, the burden will be reflected in May.

From the Personal Union of Auxiliary of Private Houses (UPACP) they clarify that for "the personnel who carry out tasks included in more than one category will be included in the one that is the main one that they perform regularly."


An extra per unfavorable area

In addition, on its website, the UPACP reports that in the event of working in areas considered unfavorable, domestic employees went from 25% to 28% more than the minimum wages established for each category.

Those provinces are: La Pampa, Rio Negro, Chubut, Neuquén, Santa Cruz, Tierra del Fuego, Antarctica and the South Atlantic Islands, or in the Patagones Party of the Province of Buenos Aires.

How each category is divided

The minimum wage of a domestic worker will depend on several factors, among which are the following:

  • The category of staff

  • The working method

  • The number of hours worked

How many hours does a domestic worker have to work?


On the salary scale of the staff of private homes, an amount is established for each category and modality of provision.

However, in terms of the number of hours of service provided, two remunerations are proposed: a monthly value for staff who perform a full-time workday (48 hours a week) and a value per hour worked.

To keep in mind

The salaries of domestic staff are not adjusted by the minimum, vital and mobile salary because they are excluded from that regime.

They are governed by what is resolved by the National Commission for Work in Private Houses.

The latest INDEC data show that informal or unregistered domestic staff were the most affected by the pandemic and quarantine.

In 2020, the salary of the private house employee had an increase of 10% in two sections

.

The first in March and the second in May.

With the pandemic, the Government included the domestic

worker

among the beneficiaries of the

IFE

but, according to the report of the Union of Domestic and Allied Workers (UTDA),

almost half of the domestic workers did not receive it.

For their part, employers of private house workers were excluded from the Emergency Assistance Program for Work and Production (ATP) by which the State paid the salaries of private workers for the equivalent of between one and two minimum wages.
