With an increase in the basic salary in Ecuador, the costs of fines and alimony also rise

Rubos have increased since January 2022. Thus, for example, $ 212.50 will be paid to drive with an expired license. Currently $ 200 is canceled.

When the new unified basic salary of $ 425 comes into force in Ecuador, as of January 1, 2022, the costs of fines, alimony, infractions and other charges that use the basic salary as a reference will also rise.

The contributions to the Ecuadorian Social Security Institute (IESS) of the affiliates who start to earn the basic salary of $ 425 since January also rise. Currently, and until this December 31, the basic salary will remain at $ 400.

Among the fines that go up are those for traffic offenses and those referring to sanctions for non-compliance with municipal ordinances, which vary according to each locality.

Thus, for example, the driver who parks his car in prohibited places will have to pay $ 42.50 from January 2022, which is the equivalent of 10% of the basic salary. Currently, the violator of this rule cancels $ 40 for disrespecting that.

Another example. If in Guayaquil you throw any type of solid waste (garbage) onto the public highway, it is sanctioned with 20% of the basic salary, as provided by the local ordinance. Currently you must pay $ 80, but from January 1, 2022 it will be $ 85.

If it is a serious offense such as leaving furniture, household goods, tree trimming and other large-volume objects on the public highway, you will pay $ 178.50 from January 2022. Currently, $ 168 is canceled, which is 42% of salary unified basic, according to the sanction of the Guayaquil ordinance.

Another example. If you drive with an expired license on the streets of Ecuador, from next January you will pay a fine of $ 212.50, which corresponds to 50% of the unified basic salary, according to the sanction provided in Ecuadorian regulations. Currently, for violating this rule, $ 200 is canceled.
