Which provinces have already ruled out the payment of an end-of-year bonus
On the contrary, other governors have already anticipated that they will not pay the benefit. One of them was the Catamarqueño Raul Jalil. At the beginning of November, the northerner had ruled out that possibility. “We are making a very big effort to improve the salaries of Catamarcans, so we have to be very prudent with finances. The bonuses we gave are reflected in the salaries,” he commented.
However, some provincial municipalities are moving forward with their own initiatives, such as Corral Quemado and Tinogasta, for example.
Chaco is going through the same situation. This week, the coordinating secretary of the cabinet of Leandro Zdero, Livio Gutierrezruled out the possibility of granting a year-end bonus to public employees due to severe economic restrictions.
“They left us the most indebted province at the national level. There is Buenos Aires, then there is Chaco”, the official protested in dialogue with Radio Cadena Federal. However, he clarified: “Chaco should be in fifth or fourth place in teacher salary improvement nationwide due to the trigger clause. The Governor has committed it and has paid for it.”
Tucumán, meanwhile, is currently evaluating the viability of granting an end-of-year bonus for state workers.
