Buenos Aires, March 30 (NA) -- The national government officially formalized this Monday a new scale of salary increases for employees of the national public administration, both for permanent and temporary personnel, through Decree 206/2026. The measure, which is retroactive, was implemented after the homologation of the agreement acts sealed at the beginning of this month. According to what the Argentine News Agency was able to learn, the schedule of increments will be applied staggered: a 2.50% increase for January, 2.20% in February, 2% in March, 1.70% in April, and a final 1.50% in May. The update covers reimbursements for food and transportation expenses. The objective of the measure is to unify the calculation criteria for all entities. The regulation directly impacts the National Public Employment System (SINEP), extending the adjustments to various supplements and compensations in the sector. These increases are calculated based on the habitual and regular remunerations in force as of the end of the immediate prior month. The new scheme also sets the ceilings for maximum remunerations for extraordinary services. These ceilings were set at ARS 791,210 for the first month of the year and will reach ARS 851,392 by the end of the quarter, without considering zone additions or attendance bonuses. In turn, the values of the non-bonifiable fixed sums will be maintained until the end of May.
