  • Argentina's "aguinaldo" or Sueldo Anual Complementario (SAC) is an extra annual salary paid in two installments.
  • The first installment, for the period January to June, is due by June 30, with a grace period extending it to July 6 for some workers.
  • This payment applies to private sector, public administration, and state company employees, as well as registered retirees and pensioners, but excludes unregistered workers and the self-employed.

Argentine workers are preparing for the arrival of the first installment of their "aguinaldo," officially known as the Sueldo Anual Complementario (SAC). This is an additional annual salary distributed in two payments throughout the year.

The first half of the aguinaldo, which covers the period from January to June, has a legal payment deadline of June 30. However, employers are granted a grace period of four business days, meaning that some registered employees might receive their payment on July 6.

This supplementary income is designated for employees in the private sector, public administration, and state-owned enterprises. It also benefits registered retirees and pensioners. Workers who are not formally registered, those operating as monotributistas, or individuals in informal employment without contributions are excluded from receiving the aguinaldo.
