How much do supervisors earn in May 2026?

In Argentina's domestic worker sector, supervisors in private homes will see their wages remain unchanged for May 2026, as the industry awaits a new salary adjustment. This period of wage stability, while perhaps frustrating for some, ensures that current rates are maintained until updated figures are officially published. The established rates are crucial for ensuring fair compensation for those in the highest category of domestic employment, who are responsible for managing and coordinating the work of others.

For hourly workers, the minimum wage is set at ARS $4013.30 per hour for those who live out and ARS $4382.53 per hour for those who live in, applicable to individuals employed for fewer than 24 hours per week by the same employer. These figures are vital for ensuring that even part-time supervisory roles are compensated adequately, reflecting the responsibilities involved in overseeing household staff and tasks.

For those employed on a monthly basis, working 24 hours or more per week, the reference salaries are ARS $500,649.27 for live-out supervisors and ARS $556,024.76 for live-in supervisors. It is important to note that these amounts represent the base salary only. Employers are legally obligated to provide additional payments for seniority, retirement contributions, and social security, ensuring a comprehensive compensation package. Furthermore, all employers are mandated by law to register their employees with the AFIP, regardless of working hours or contract type, underscoring the importance of formalizing labor relationships within the sector.
