The Argentine government presented a labor reform project in the Senate aimed at increasing employment flexibility, reducing litigation, and strengthening collective bargaining. The proposal introduces a Labor Assistance Fund, funded by a 3 % employer contribution, partially replacing the traditional indemnity system. Vacation rules will change: caps are removed, instalment payments are allowed, and adjustments will be tied to the consumer price index. Part‑time contracts are introduced, and salary composition and employer control measures are updated. The probation period for home‑service workers is extended to six months, raising concerns among labor groups. A dedicated section on strike rights narrows the calculation base to regular pay, allowing employers and employees to agree on different periods. A new medical certificate system requires digital signatures. The project also permits hour banks and revises work‑time regulations. Labor Minister Juan Pérez said, "This reform is the key to creating a more resilient economy and a fair labour market."
