In Argentina, employees are entitled to various types of paid and unpaid leave. Each heading below gives the name you will see when booking time off in the platform, and shows who pays.
Paid Leave
Maternity Leave:
90 days total: 45 days before the expected date of birth and 45 days after the birth.
Paid by social security (ANSES). Your payslip will show this period as unpaid — the allowance is paid to you separately by ANSES.
Supporting documentation is required with the request.
Paternity Leave (second parent):
2 days
Paid by your employer. Supporting documentation is required.
Marriage Leave:
10 days
Paid by your employer.
Bereavement Leave:
3 days for the death of a partner, 1 day for the death of a sibling.
Paid by your employer. The platform records this as a single 3-day entitlement — if your circumstances call for the shorter period, note this in your request.
Study Leave:
2 days per exam, up to a maximum of 10 days per year.
Paid by your employer. Supporting documentation is required.
Blood Donation Leave:
Time off to donate blood, recorded with no fixed annual balance.
Paid by your employer. Supporting documentation is required.
Work Accident Leave:
Leave following a workplace accident, recorded with no fixed annual balance.
Paid by your employer, with ART cover applying. Supporting documentation is required.
Unpaid Leave
Childcare Leave:
Available after a minimum of 1 year of seniority. The leave can be from 3 to 6 months (recorded as up to 180 calendar days in the platform).
Unpaid.
Entitlements arranged outside the platform
These are real entitlements under Argentine law, but there is currently no policy for them in the platform. Contact your Remote People HR contact to arrange them:
Military service — leave for fulfilling mandatory military duties. Unpaid.
Performance of elective positions — leave for employees holding or running for elective positions in public office. Unpaid.
Annual leave (Vacation) and Sick Leave are covered in separate articles. These provisions ensure employees can attend to personal, family, and civic responsibilities while balancing their work commitments.
