Argentina recognizes three types of residency: transitory, temporary, and permanent.

• Except for technical residents, transitory residence is normally reserved for those staying in Argentina for less than 3 months.
• Foreigners who engage in technical or professional activity are given technical residency status. At the Argentinean Embassy in their native nation or region, or after visiting as a tourist, people can apply for this residency.
• Foreign individuals who have an invitation by a company with a presence in Argentina can obtain business residency. Only the foreigner's home country or territory's Argentinean Consulate will accept requests for this residency. This form of residency is for business purposes. It is valid for a period of 60 days and may be extended at the discretion of the immigration office.

Foreign nationals who wish to stay in the nation or territory for a lengthy period of time must apply for temporary residency. This type of housing that foreigners who work long-term for a local business use is a work residence. This one-year extension is possible for the Work Residence, which is good for one year.

Permanent Residency is for those individuals who desire to live in the nation permanently.

In Argentina, the usual VAT rate is 21%. To keep compliance in place, most businesses hire Employer of Record Argentina firms. 

Termination Process

Unless it is due to mutual agreement, the employees' failure to complete their work duties, severe misbehavior, or economic grounds, the employer must explain any dismissal with notice.

Notice Period

Employees who have been with the organization for more than 3 months but much less than 5 years need to give one month's notice.

Employees who have been with the same employer for more than 5 years are required to give two months' notice. Having an Employer of Record Argentina firm by their side, is a great way for managers to create liable contracts.

Severance Pay

For every year of employment, severance pay is computed at one month's wage. If an employee's contract is terminated due to economic reasons, they will be paid half a month for each year of service.

According to the reason for termination, a worker may be eligible to remuneration for a part of the year they work and a portion of the 13th salary.

Furthermore, on December 23, 2021, decree No. 886/2021 continued the public crisis in occupational concerns and set the gradual decrease of the rise in severance benefits. In the event of termination, the impacted employee will have access to the following benefits in addition to the applicable severance pay:

• From 01/01/2022 to 28/02/2022, a 75% increase in severance.
• A rise of 50% of the ordinary severance from 01/03/2022 to 30/04/2022, and a 25% increase from 01/05/2022 to 30/06/2022. (These proportions will be computed after taking into account all severance items resulting from the end of the employment agreement and may not surpass 500,000 pesos). This doubling of pay does not apply to employees employed after December 13, 2019.

Probation Period

Argentina has a three-month probation period.

If the worker or the employer decides to end the contract without reason during the first 3 months of employment, the company is not required to pay compensation but must tell the employee 15 days in advance.

Paid Time Offs

2 weeks of yearly leave are granted to workers who have been with a company for more than 6 months. Up to 35 days, the number of vacation days goes according to the length of continuous employment.

Per each 20 working days, new workers are eligible to one day of leave. A certified professional employer organization will help companies ensure that they provide their workers with this benefit.

Employees' entitlement to paid vacation in Argentina is based on how long they have worked for the company:

• Employees who have not been with their current employer for five years or more are eligible to 14 days off.
• The right to 21 days of leave will be in place for workers who have been with the same company for five to ten years.
• Employees who have been 10 to 20 years working for the same business are eligible to 28 days of leave.
• 35 days of leave are in place for workers who have over 20 years of service with one employer.

The employer shall pay the employee's full salary and all other benefits throughout the period of yearly leave. When calculating annual leave, the employee's entitlement to vacation days is multiplied by the wage payment, which is divided by 25. If calculating these benefits is too much for the manager, hiring a professional employer organization or an Employer of Record Argentina firm can be a great option.

Public Holidays

There are 16 national holidays throughout the year.

Vacation Holidays

There are 14 vacation holidays throughout the year.

Sick Days

An employee is only eligible for a maximum of three months of paid sick leave if they have not been with the company for five years. The amount of paid sick time is increased to six months for employees who have worked for the business for more than 5 years.

Nevertheless, the Employment Risk Insurance (which is a necessary protection for companies) pays any therapy, sick pay, or treatment for a job accident, illness, or injury. The company is accountable for providing sick pay.
