The national Government formalized a measure that grants salary incentives to officials who reduce the staffing in the State.
The provision, published in the Official Gazette, was signed by the Chief of Staff, Guillermo Francos, the Minister of Deregulation and State Transformation, Federico Sturzenegger, and the head of Economy, Luis Caputo.
The regulation establishes an additional salary for officials who manage to decrease the number of employees in their areas.
How the staff reduction incentive works
The benefit is framed in Administrative Decision 7/2025 and establishes that the "additional retributive units" will be granted based on the budget savings caused by the reduction of staff.
"Grant extraordinary supplements based on objective productivity indicators," defined the Government.
The calculation of the additional is based on:
- The value of each Retributive Unit (UR)
- The reduction of the state workforce between 2023 and 2024
- A percentage of the average public employee salary (6%)
The Ministry of Deregulation and Economy will oversee the distribution of this bonus, which will be distributed among the officials of each area.
How much officials will receive
According to the annex of the regulation, the amounts to be distributed will be as follows:
