The National Government of Argentina changed the method of calculating union dues within the framework of the implementation of the Labor Modernization Law. With Decree 612/2026 published in the Official Gazette, the inclusion of overtime, annual bonuses, commissions, and other non-standard payments in the calculation of dues has ended.
According to the new regulation, the calculation base for union dues will consist only of the base salary in the collective bargaining agreement corresponding to the worker's category and the regular normal wages paid monthly. The government established a uniform criterion to prevent different interpretations and to clarify labor costs between the employer and the employees during collective bargaining negotiations.
Furthermore, the decree increases transparency and audit conditions for unions. Contribution payments made by employers on behalf of unions can only be used for social, welfare, retirement, or cultural purposes, and these funds will be recorded separately from the rest of the union's assets.
