  • 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 anticipating the first installment of their "aguinaldo," also known as the Sueldo Anual Complementario (SAC), which is an extra annual salary paid in two parts.

The first half of this bonus, calculated based on the highest monthly salary earned between January and June, is legally due by June 30. However, employers have a four-day grace period, meaning some registered employees may receive their payment as late as July 6.

This benefit is a legal right for employees in the private sector, public administration, and state-owned companies. It also extends to registered retirees and pensioners. Excluded from this payment are informal workers, those without registered employment, and individuals operating under the monotributo system.
