Health Benefits

In Argentina, it is mandatory for employers to provide health insurance to their employees. 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, with employees contributing 3% and employers contributing 6%. This typically covers the costs in most cases and is processed automatically during payroll. However, any additional expenses beyond the total social contributions will be billed accordingly. Employees in Argentina have the option to select these plans during onboarding.

Mental Health

Offering mental health benefits is not mandatory in this country, but providing the benefit can significantly enhance the emotional well-being and overall productivity of employees.

Remote offers a comprehensive employee mental wellbeing platform in partnership with one of the top-rated employee mental wellbeing providers. This platform is available on desktop and mobile apps and includes 1-to-1 therapy with a curated pool of top-quality therapists in over 35 languages. The advanced matching service finds each employee the right therapist within 48 hours, boasting a 98% success rate. Employees receive a personal wellbeing profile with tailored recommendations and information to track progress. The platform also offers a curated self-guided content library with audio mindfulness and meditation sessions, guided yoga videos, talks, podcasts on workplace wellbeing, and micro-learning content series for managers. Additionally, there are 24/7 mental health helplines for immediate support when an employee is struggling.

Mental health program benefits may be offered to the employees from among 5 different plans. Offering mental health benefits is optional, but it can greatly enhance employee well-being and productivity.
