Registered domestic workers are entitled to two additional payments that increase their salary: one for seniority, which grants 1% of the salary for each year worked in the same job.
The National Commission of Domestic Workers (CNTCP) agreed on a new raise for domestic workers, which has been approved by the Government to establish the wages for the first quarter of 2025. The new salary scale, effective from February, incorporates a 1.2% increase compared to the earnings of January.
This salary adjustment applies to all categories of domestic workers, including nannies, allowing them to receive their updated salaries this month. The previous increase was 6%, divided into two phases: 3.2% in September and 2.8% in October 2024.
Additionally, a 30% bonus was established for workers in disadvantaged areas, covering regions such as Tierra del Fuego, Santa Cruz, Río Negro, and Patagonia.
