Economics
This is from an ILO report on labot market institutions in Argentina, specifically the evolution of minimum wage:
Esta recomposición observada en los años 2000 obedece a la revitalización del Consejo del Salario Mínimo, Vital y Móvil en 2004 y a la implementación de otras medidas del gobierno nacional (como la determinación de aumentos de suma fija y la modificación del Régimen laboral), que propiciaron un contexto para retomar la discusión periódica y tripartita del salario mínimo en Argentina.
the literal translation would be "fixed increases", but I am not sure if there is a more specific term in economics.
Thanks

Salary raises
... if this "suma fija" is referring the amount or sum paid to a ***salaried*** professional / employee. Unless wages, salary is fixed. That is, the employee makes the same every month/year regardless of the hours worked. In this context, "fixed" is unnecessary to use in English. Otherwise, if not necessarily "salaried", then PAY RAISES is another option. Further context on what "suma fija" is referring to would help.

Robert Carter
: I assume the text refers to a fixed-amount increase, as opposed to an index-linked or percentage increase.

fixed-sums
That's how they have it in a Baker & McKenzie report for Argentina:
Some Unions have begun negotiations, and are negotiating for a fixed-sum for the first quarter of 2014. In lieu of entering into salary agreements, some Unions have postponed salary negotiations until the current economic environment becomes clearer. Bank workers, bus drivers and workers in the oilseeds industry have agreed to fixed-sums, roughly equivalent to a salary increase of 25 to 30 percent, ...
