2023-08-28 15:52:00

The sector that includes the workers of Casas Particulares has its own characteristics, which will lead to a different implementation of the fixed amount that the government defined to be charged by those who have formal employment, whether they are workers in the public or private sphere.

First of all, it is worth considering that when the fixed sum for workers in a public or private dependency relationship will be 60,000 pesos, the people included under the umbrella of domestic employment will receive one of $25,000 to be paid twice and in proportion to the hours worked.

This was confirmed this morning by the Minister of Labor, Raquel “Kelly” Olmos, at a press conference. In addition, she gave other details on how said bonus will be paid, on what date and other details.

1) What is the bonus that the employees of private homes will receive?

It will be charged in two installments of $12,500 within the first 15 business days of the month, that is, over the first three weeks.

2) When is the lump sum charged?

The lump sum is charged in September and October because it supplements the salaries for August and September.

3) What happens if you have two jobs?

Proportionally charged for each job. For example: If they work 4 hours in one house and another 4 hours in another house, in each place they have to pay $6,250 in September and $6,250 in October to complete the total $12,500 in each month. .

4) What help do those who give the job have?

They are exempted from paying employer contributions if they filed and paid the Personal Property Tax for the 2022 financial years.

5) What does it mean that it is “non-remunerative”?

6) What has to happen for the parity to be reopened and included in the salary?

That the union ask for it, that the revision be agreed and that it be later approved by the Ministry of Labor.

7) What does it mean that it is “absorbable” by parity?

That, if the employee had already agreed to an increase with the employer, it can be deducted from that amount and, consequently, not collect the entire $12,500 per month. For example, if it had been agreed to raise the salary by $10,000 in August, you are only entitled to claim the remaining $2,500.
.
What happens with the salary in October?
The fixed sum is no longer charged and only the increases agreed by parities or agreed with the employers will remain.
.
What happens if there is an item on the receipt that says “on account of future increases”?
The lump sum can be deducted from that amount. The Ministry did not give details in this regard and it will be defined with the fine print of the Decree.
.
What happens if the August salary has already been collected or is about to be collected?
The employer must make the complementary payment with the corresponding receipt.
.
What happens if you work “in the black” or you are not formally registered? .
It is at the discretion of the employer. The rule only applies to formal workers.
.
What happens if they do not pay the fixed amount?
The complaint must be filed with the Ministry of Labor and may be anonymous.
