The government set up on Monday the new pay scales for domestic staff. The increase in the next three months that workers in the sector will receive will be 27%, taking as based on March amounts this year, when the fourth and final increase agreed in November between the Ministry of Labor and the National Commission for the Work of Private Housing took place.
Second Resolution 2-2023, published in the Official Gazette signed by Roberto Picozzi, president of that tripartite body made up of the State, representatives of entrepreneurs and trade unions in the sector, the first of the increases will be 14% starting from the current month. Meanwhile, in May, the increase will be 7% non-cumulative, just as in June they will receive a 6% increase.
So next month general duty staff with retirement will receive $697.5 per hour or $85,586 per month, while those without retirement will receive $752 per hour or $95,170.5 per month.
Over the next two tranches, the values will be $740 and $777 per hour, $90,841 and $95,345.5 per month for retired workers, $798 and $838 per hour, and $101,014 and $106,023 per month for those without retirement.
At the top end of the industry pay pyramid, the progression for a retired supervisor will be $841.5, $893 and $937 per hour and $104,993, $111,440 and $116,966 per month. Meanwhile, that of those with no withdrawals will be $921.5, $978 and $1026.5 per hour and $116,950, $124,131.5 and $130,287 per month.
The annex to the resolution clarifies, contextually, that “an additional unfavorable zone of 30% will be applied. on the minimum wages established for each of the categories in relation to personnel performing tasks in the Provinces of La Pampa, Río Negro, Chubut, Neuquén, Santa Cruz, Tierra del Fuego, Antártida and Islas del Atlántico Sur, or in the District of Patagones of the Province of Buenos Aires”.
The new scale was established after “an extensive exchange of positions” during the meeting that the National Commission for Work in Private Houses held on March 28.
