How to calculate the salary of an intern?

His remuneration is fixed by computing the salary of the category assimilable to the intern’s activity, corresponding to the collective labor agreement applicable to the company that hires him.

The allowance that corresponds to you will be proportional to the workload of your internship. Example:

If the salary of the agreement involved amounts to $ 12,000 for an ordinary day of 48 hours. weekly and your internship have an hourly load of 16 hours.

weekly, your allowance will be equal to 1/3 of that salary (1/3 of $ 12,000 = $ 4,000).

The base salary for calculation must include the additional agreements that are compatible with the nature of the internship and if there are variable remunerations (such as commissions), the average that they show during the last 3 months will be taken.

In those cases in which there is more than one agreement, the one that is most beneficial to you should be applied, while if there is none, the minimum, vital and mobile salary will be used instead of the conventional salary.
