This document provides a consolidated comparative overview of the recent amendments to Argentina’s Employment Contract Act. It is intended as a clear and practical reference tool to explain how the legal framework has been modified by the recently enacted Labor Modernization Law (Law No. 27,802), highlighting the differences between the prior regime and the rules currently in force.
The comparison covers key aspects of individual and collective labor law, including the scope of labor protections, contractual arrangements, termination and severance regimes, remuneration structures, procedural rules in labor litigation, collective bargaining, trade union regulation, and new mechanisms affecting employment formalization and labor costs.
The table presents the amendments on a side‑by‑side basis, enabling a swift assessment of both substantive and procedural changes and their practical implications.
