How are salaries Prorated in Argentina?

In Argentina, salaries are prorated when an employee works fewer days than a full month. This can happen in various scenarios such as starting a job mid-month or leaving the job before the month ends. 


When Are Salaries Prorated?

  • New Employees: If an employee begins after the month starts, they receive pay for the days worked.
  • Early Departures: If an employee retires or resigns before the month ends, their salary is adjusted for the days worked.


Prorated Salary Calculation

To calculate the prorated salary:

Total Salary ÷ 30 (or 31) × Days Worked


For example, if an employee earns ARS 90,000 per month and works for 15 days in a 30-day month:

ARS 90,000 ÷ 30 × 15 = ARS 45,000


Sickness and Pay

In case of illness, there is no proration of salary. Sick days, provided with a medical certificate, are paid the same as regular working days. No special calculation is required.
