As the fourth month of the year approaches, it is time to take out the calculator (if there was time to put it away with so many increases) and review again the services that must be paid at the beginning of the new month.
In that sense,
we must take into account the salary of Casas Particulares employees
: how much will have to be
paid per hour or per month
in April, according to each category.
An account that is worth clarifying will be momentary since
on April 17
the Commission will meet again to review new increases for April and May, as explained to Clarín from the union.
So, for those who pay hourly, they will do so until the middle of the month at the current value, and then they will have to adjust if an agreement is reached.
Last month - after a meeting between the National Commission for Work in Private Homes (CNTCP) and the Ministry of Labor, Employment and Social Security - a new parity of 35% was defined to be paid in two installments, an increase of 20% in February and another 15% increase in March.
The novelty is that, for the first time,
the union managed to make the increase cumulative,
so the
real increase will be 38%.

Additional payments
Domestic workers add some extra money when they work in unfavorable areas.
In addition, they receive a salary supplement
for “seniority”, equivalent to 1% for each year of seniority
of the worker in their employment relationship, on their monthly salaries.
This additional is paid monthly starting September 1, 2021. The service time, for the purposes of this seniority additional, began to be computed as of September 1, 2020, without retroactive effect.
Current legislation also indicates that workers must be paid an additional amount per
unfavorable area equivalent to 30% of the minimum wages
established for each of the categories with respect to personnel who perform tasks in the provinces of La Pampa, Rio Negro, Chubut, Neuquén, Santa Cruz, Tierra del Fuego, Antarctica and South Atlantic Islands, or in the Patagones District of the Province of Buenos Aires.
Elimination of sanctions
The arrival of Javier Milei to the presidency came with some changes, in January for example the DNU came out with 360 articles that contemplate some changes, for example, there is one that directly affects domestic employees.
DNU 70/2023 published in the Official Gazette repealed article 50 of Law 26,844 of the Special Regime of Employment Contracts for Personnel in Private Houses.
In this way, the sanctions that were imposed due to lack of labor registration, black employment, or deficient registration are eliminated.
Translated for the employees of Casas Particulares it means that they stop collecting that fine or what they usually call double compensation.
"In the same sense as for a formal worker, it eliminates the aggravation of the severance payment," the tax official, Sebastián Domínguez, explained to Clarín.
"The regime of the law on private home workers is 26,844 and article 50 establishes a doubling of seniority in cases of deficient registration or lack of registration, that is, black work," coincidence, Dr. Silvana Iudkovsky.
And she continued: "What article 50 established is what is called compensatory aggravation. This new decree would be eliminating them."
"The intention, if you read the other articles of the decree, is to eliminate fines for having black workers or having them poorly registered," the specialist explained to Clarín weeks ago.
And she added: "I think they are looking for simplification, but not promoting black work."
