Remote builds belonging for your global team with comprehensive local plans at competitive rates.
Remote Benefits Plans
The following benefits are included in Remote's standard compensation package for all employees based in Argentina. In Argentina, private health insurance is referred to as "Prepagas." The expense of a group insurance plan is shared by both employees and employers through social contributions, where employees contribute 3%, and employers contribute 6%. This typically covers the costs in the majority of cases and is processed automatically during payroll. However, if there are any additional expenses beyond the total social contributions, they will be billed accordingly.

Customers may elect to offer the mental health program benefits to their teams and can choose among 5 different plans. If one of the mental health benefit is offered, the employee will automatically be enrolled and you will be charged for it monthly. However, employees have the option to opt out of the benefit. If they choose to do so, they will be unenrolled and charges will stop effective from the next month.
It is essential to be aware that in certain countries, Mental Health benefits may be categorized as 'Benefits in Kind' (BIK). This categorization means that the monthly premiums, which the company pays for the benefit, might be counted as part of the employee's taxable income according to the local tax laws.
Pricing and benefits are subject to change in response to business and market changes and we will update you when those changes take place.
