Servicio domestico rates

[Aztangogirl]

like the minimal wage in the US.
170/h in real terms PPP might even be higher than minimal wage in Alabama.
Again 170/h is in a small pueblo interior where prices are much lower.
PS>For the record I pay 6-700/h myself

I don't care how much cheaper things are in a small town. With inflation at 40,% , 170 an hour is despicable. And minimum wage in Alabama is not a living wage.

That is criminal and despicable

I don't have experience hiring help. Can you explain to us why this is criminal? May be good legal information for people looking to hire in the future.

Criminal in the moral sense. For an expat with US dollars, 170 pesos is $1.20 blue.

It's very low of course, but having dollars does not automatically make someone wealthy here. The OP may only get $400 a month. Very unlikely I know and you're probably right they're using the low market prices where they live to their benefit, but who knows. On the side of the hired help, let's say $1.20 an hour, four hours, a day, five days a week. That would be $24 a week or around $100 a month. That's not enough for someone to live, even in the interior.

Yesterday, I was talking to a 45 yr old Argentine waitress in Cafeteria in Palermo.

she told me she works 9’hours a day, 6 days a week and earns 16 k pesos a month including propina

A good rule of thumb is add 20% to whatever the housekeeper requests, and top it with a monthly bonus if desired.

The blue rate has nothing to do with local salaries. I agree that $170 sounds low, but local conditions vary greatly. The rates paid in San Isidro are quite different from the rates paid in Moreno.
