The domestic service branch has high levels of informality. Consequently, its workers are more exposed to economic turbulence.
In a context of high inflationthe domestic workers they denounce cuts in working hours and the consequent salary reduction. In that sense, the Union of Auxiliary Personnel of Private Houses (UPACP) Clarified that Employers cannot modify the scheme unilaterally.
Domestic service is the branch of activity with the greatest informality. For this reason, it is also the sector that is most exposed to changes in its working conditions, even more so in a context of so much economic uncertainty.
Domestic workers: the union’s position on cutting hours
The UPACP explained that the agreed agreement cannot be modified unilaterally and that, in the event that the employer wants to reduce the workdaymust be agreed between both parties involved to generate a new agreement.
They also clarified that the new agreement must detail the new conditions and be documented and signed so that each party has a copy. Furthermore, they warned that the employer will have to notify the new workload to the federal Public Revenue Administration (AFIP).

Domestic employees: How to calculate the bonus?
The Federal Public Revenue Administration (AFIP) announced that those who are in charge of a private home worker must pay the second installment of the Annual Complementary Salary (SAC) on the last working day prior to Dec. 18.
He SAC is calculated based on 50% of the best salary that the worker has had throughout the last semester.
In the event that the provision of services is lower after six months or the employment relationship has been terminated before the end of the period, it must be settled in proportion to the period worked. The amount will arise from dividing the months worked by 6. For example, in the case where it is 4 months, the figure will be equivalent to 66.67% of the 50% of the best salary for that period.
On the other hand, it is important to know that there is no minimum number of hours from which the bonus is received. Likewise, when the employment contract ends for any reason, the proportional part of the SAC must be paid.
