Argentina labor and employment policy updates

Overview

The Argentine government and regional authorities have implemented measures to regulate and stabilize various labor sectors.

In the agricultural sector, the national government extended Decree 1204/2026, which allows temporary rural workers to retain social welfare benefits while holding formal employment. This extension, effective from September 1, 2026, to September 1, 2027, aims to combat informality and incentivize registered seasonal labor by ensuring family allowances remain intact during harvest periods.

Concurrently, the government of Buenos Aires Province approved Resolution 84/2026 to transition specific groups of temporary state employees to permanent status. This measure, resulting from collective bargaining with unions, applies to monthly-paid workers appointed between January 1, 2024, and December 31, 2025, provided they remain in their roles throughout 2026.
