But whether ruling by decree or achieving legislative support, President Milei\u2019s ambitions must still confront the resistance of the Argentine labor courts. It will not be the first time.<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Background: The Ley de Bases and Its Objectives&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221; skin=&#8221;primary&#8221; show_border=&#8221;yes&#8221; border_skin=&#8221;primary&#8221; border_size=&#8221;xs&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]In July 2024, the Argentine Congress passed the so-called <em>Ley de Bases<\/em>, President Milei\u2019s omnibus reform package aimed at deregulation and modernization of the State. Key among these reforms was the elimination of several penalties payable by employers for failing to properly register employment, to pay statutory severance, or to deliver timely post-termination employment certificates.<\/p>\n<p>These penalties were legislated decades ago to deter unlawful employment practices and to ensure employee access to health insurance, workers&#8217; compensation, and retirement pensions accrued only by payrolled employees. Nonetheless, over time the labor courts applied these penalties to facts beyond congress\u2019s original intent. Instead of assuring basic employment rights, the courts levied the penalties to non-payrolled fringe benefits (e.g., private health insurance, cell phone allowances, company cars, and car allowances) even if wages and recurring bonuses were properly payrolled and the employee assured insurance and retirement benefits.[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Why Penalties Encouraged Litigation?&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221; skin=&#8221;primary&#8221; show_border=&#8221;yes&#8221; border_skin=&#8221;primary&#8221; border_size=&#8221;xs&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]Because the penalties were payable to the employee (and not to the government), they further distorted the presumed legislative goal by encouraging employee-side attorneys to search for any unreported fringe benefits, especially for highly compensated executives whose claims represented a potential windfall. These factors increased termination costs, incentivized litigation, and often discouraged the employer from offering fringe benefits.<\/p>\n<p>By eliminating them, the <em>Ley de Bases<\/em> sought to soften the financial cost to employers and reduce their exposure as part of an overall effort to discourage claims brought by properly registered employees.<\/p>\n<p>Critics of the reform argued the elimination of penalties, as opposed to maintaining them but for the government\u2019s\u2014not the employee\u2019s\u2014benefit, completely undermined the means to hold employers accountable for their employment registration obligations. The criticism has not gone unnoticed in the Argentine labor courts. Recent rulings show that, despite the legislative repeal of the penalties, these courts continue to award like amounts to plaintiffs by denominating them as \u201cdamages\u201d instead of \u201cpenalties.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Penalties under the Legacy Regime&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221; skin=&#8221;primary&#8221; show_border=&#8221;yes&#8221; border_skin=&#8221;primary&#8221; border_size=&#8221;xs&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]The <em>Ley de Bases<\/em> eliminated three statutory penalties. Let us take a quick look at these:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><u>Penalty for Improper Registration.<\/u> This penalty applied to any unreported or under-reported employment relationship. The penalty amount varied depending on the facts. If the employee brought a claim during employment, the penalty entitled the employee to <em>double<\/em> statutory severance <em>and<\/em> 25% of any unreported compensation. If the employee filed a claim after employment, only the doubling of severance for seniority would apply.<\/li>\n<li><u>Penalty for Failure to Pay Full Statutory Severance<\/u>. This penalizes an employer for forcing an employee to sue for a statutory entitlement (severance upon termination). The penalty equals 50% of the statutory severance payable.<\/li>\n<li><u>Penalty for<\/u> <u>Failure to Timely Deliver Employment Certificates<\/u>. This punishes the employer who, for whatever reason, fails to deliver the statutory certificates required by law within 30 days of the end of employment. This was a particularly pernicious penalty given its magnitude (three times the employee\u2019s recurring monthly compensation) for what was often an administrative oversight by the employer.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>To illustrate the impact of these penalties (and why they encouraged litigation), let us look at a hypothetical that assumes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The termination of an employee earning a monthly salary of US$10,000 with six years of seniority;<\/li>\n<li>The termination is deemed to occur mid-month due to the employee\u2019s claim of constructive dismissal brought during employment; and<\/li>\n<li>The employer failed to payroll a US$100 cell phone allowance during those six years.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In this hypothetical, statutory severance payable upon termination would be just over US$87,000. Applying the penalties, we would add to this severance: US$86,800 (Penalty 1) plus US$42,500 (Penalty 2) plus US$30,000 (Penalty 3). This means US$159,300 in penalties <em>on top of<\/em> the US$87,000 payable as statutory severance [1].<a href=\"#_ftn1\" name=\"_ftnref1\"><\/a>[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;The Ley de Bases and Repeal of the Penalties&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221; skin=&#8221;primary&#8221; show_border=&#8221;yes&#8221; border_skin=&#8221;primary&#8221; border_size=&#8221;xs&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]As mentioned above, the <em>Ley de Bases<\/em> abolished the three penalties described in the preceding section. Since then, however, the labor courts have trended toward awarding damages to supplant the statutory penalties. \u00a0This has led to uncertainty about the judiciary\u2019s adherence to the legislative will and, if so, whether the repeal of the penalties applies to all claims adjudicated after July 2024 (regardless of the termination date) or only to those terminations that occurred after July 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Certain provincial courts have adopted the adjudication standard, denying penalties for all claims reviewed after July 2024 even if the termination date precedes the change in law. The prevailing view, including for the labor courts sitting in the City of Buenos Aires, is to <strong>apply the change only to those claims involving a termination occurring after the change in law <\/strong>[2]. Perhaps more troubling is the willingness of the labor courts to enable an employee to sue for damages even if the repeal of the penalties is found constitutional. In one case [3], the judge found the employer\u2019s failure to register the employment and to pay severance upon termination caused \u201cself-evident harm\u201d to the employee, entitling them to damages. That employee had almost eight years of service and, not coincidentally, the court awarded damages equal to sixteen monthly wages,<em> i.e.<\/em>, a doubling of severance for seniority.<\/p>\n<p>Particularly irksome about the damage award substitute for penalties is the court\u2019s apparent indifference to the legal premise that damages\u2014particularly those based in tort\u2014must be <em>proved<\/em>. The labor court\u2019s finding of damages without proof of the actual harm suffered by plaintiff is legally unsound and an obvious effort to call a legacy penalty by a different name.<a href=\"#_ftnref1\" name=\"_ftn1\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Conclusions&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221; skin=&#8221;primary&#8221; show_border=&#8221;yes&#8221; border_skin=&#8221;primary&#8221; border_size=&#8221;xs&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]While it appears largely settled that the <em>Ley de Bases<\/em> has eliminated the penalties for unreported or under-reported employment and other employment law violations by the employer, certain labor courts are looking to maintain the legacy statutes by using them as measures for damages. At least for now, the employer\u2019s exposure has not gone away, it has simply morphed into a different form. In Argentina, where its Civil Law system relies on statutes to provide legal certainty, the discretionary award of damages will lead to increasingly disparate outcomes. Pending a pronouncement of the Supreme Court to unify criteria, the Argentine labor courts\u2019 awarding of non-statutory damages will neutralize intended legislative reform and may harbinger future conflict between these courts and the sweeping reforms promised by Javier Milei. If so, this will perhaps engender even greater uncertainty for employees and employers attempting to assess probable outcomes of their disputes.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#_ftnref15\" name=\"_ftn15\"><\/a>[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Footnotes&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h3|text_align:left&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221; skin=&#8221;primary&#8221; show_border=&#8221;yes&#8221; border_skin=&#8221;primary&#8221; border_size=&#8221;xs&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;][1] The hypothetical is an over-simplification to offer an illustration and ignores several variables, including a possible cap on severance under the so-called <u>Vizzoti<\/u> Rule.<\/p>\n<p>[2] Another ruling by a labor court in the City of Buenos Aires upheld the repeal of the penalties as constitutional and applied the adjudication standard. <em>See<\/em> \u201cVasold, Vanesa Soledad v.

(wrongful discharge).\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Other labor courts \u2014including those sitting in C\u00f3rdoba, Tucum\u00e1n, and Mendoza\u2014 have reached similar conclusions, both for terminations that occurred before and after the effective date of the reform. These courts have consistently confirmed the constitutionality of the Ley de Bases and ruled that the abrogation of the penalties for unregistered employment or failure to pay for severance does not violate the Constitution. However, they also held that employers remain liable for damages when their conduct causes harm and therefore ordered compensatory damages resulting from unregistered employment or failing to pay severance.<\/p>\n<p>[3] \u201cVasold, Vanesa Soledad v.
