The Government regulated the labor reform, through Decree 847/2024 published this Thursday in the Official Gazette. This is the employment chapter of the Bases law, which details how the agreement of the parties to a collective bargaining agreement will be. Enable the specific “cessation systems” by activity, replacing the general severance pay regime and also provides for changes to trial periods.

Labor reform regulations: what will happen to the trial period
The labor reform also provides for changes with respect to the trial periods. Specifically, the decree explains that they will extend three to six monthswith the possibility that this period may be, if there is a conventional agreement, up to eight months in companies with six to 100 workers, and up to one year in units with up to five employees.
Furthermore, it is modified the regime of presumption of the existence of an employment contract. The presumption will not apply whenever there are contracts for “works or professional services or trades” and the corresponding invoices are issued. What is established implies, according to officials, that it will no longer be understood a priori that in certain situations there is a permanent relationship, but rather that such a thing should be verified.

Other changes of the labor reform
Another modification is linked to the maternity leave. While until now it was possible to choose to reduce the period prior to delivery to a period of no less than 30 days, now this reference is taken to 10 days.
In turn, the law includes the figure of the independent worker who has “up to three other independent workers to carry out a productive enterprise”, without relationships of dependency existing between them.
Said system will not be limited to certain activities and a registration of the situation with the AFIP will be required. Each person involved will pay the contributions, according to the regime that corresponds to them: monotax or self-employed, as specified by Cordero in dialogue with journalists.
