Argentine Gendarmerie Personnel to Receive June Salaries and Annual Bonus

Personnel of the Argentine National Gendarmerie will receive their June salaries, which include the first installment of their annual bonus, known as the aguinaldo. This month's payment reflects the salary structure established last year, with the addition of the Sueldo Anual Complementario (SAC).

Salaries for different ranks in June, including the estimated aguinaldo, are as follows: Comandante General will earn approximately $2,635,216 pesos plus an estimated $1,317,608 pesos in aguinaldo. Comandante Mayor will receive about $2,398,955 pesos plus an estimated $1,199,477 pesos. Comandante Principal's total is around $2,153,607 pesos plus an estimated $1,076,803 pesos. Lower ranks like Gendarme will earn approximately $783,112 pesos plus an estimated $391,556 pesos, and Gendarme II will receive about $711,920 pesos plus an estimated $355,960 pesos.

It is important to note that these calculations for the aguinaldo do not include extraordinary bonuses that were paid as a one-time payment to all personnel in March and April. The payment schedule for the aguinaldo mandates that the first installment must be paid by June 30. However, official organizations have a grace period of four business days, meaning some payments could reach employee accounts as late as July 6.

The calculation for the aguinaldo is based on 50% of the highest monthly salary received during the first semester of the year (January to June). For employees who have not completed six months of service, the calculation is proportional to the time worked. The formula used in such cases involves dividing the maximum salary by 12 and multiplying the result by the number of months effectively worked.
