Domestic workers who are registered will receive the first half of the 2023 Christmas bonus.
Under the concept of premium for presenteeismthose families that have hired domestic staff must pay the equivalent of a quarter of the half Christmas bonus that includes the services provided January to June of this year.
Due to the type of quality that is remunerated (presenteeism), it is necessary that for its collection no faults have been recorded during the mentioned period, although those for disease duly certified (with medical certificate entered into BPS or BSE), or licenses such as mourning, study, or marriage, and even those absences for strikes decreed by PIT-CNT or the union itself, will not be a reason for loss of benefit.
Employers have a deadline of 30 of this month to deposit the corresponding sum, which, being a salary item, must contribute to social security and income tax if applicable.

It should be noted that all amounts are expressed nominally, so they will vary after the corresponding contributions.
