ALLSTARSIT takes care of everything for you – we have a 360° approach with a full recruitment cycle
Payroll Cycle
Employees in Mexico can be compensated on a weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly basis, but this frequency must be specified in their employment contract. Bank transfers are the recommended method for payment as cash transactions face strict regulations. Electronically issued payslips, known as CFDIs, are mandatory. Moreover, payroll documentation in Mexico needs to be retained for a duration of 5 years.
Employer Taxes
36.1 – 44.73%
Overtime Pay
Overtime work beyond the standard shift is compensated as per the terms set in the employment contract or collective agreements. Employees can work up to 3 overtime hours daily, but not for more than 3 consecutive days. Some managerial positions may be exempt from overtime pay and its restrictions.
Overtime compensation is governed by two primary factors: the cumulative number of overtime hours in a week and the number of hours worked post a regular shift on a given day.
Paid Leave
In Mexico, the employment contract stipulates that employees receive a minimum of 12 days of paid holiday annually. After completing a year of service, they are entitled to an additional two days of holiday each year. Once an employee reaches 5 years of service, they earn two more days every five years, as illustrated in the subsequent table. If leave remains unused, it can be carried forward for up to 6 months.
Additionally, for each day of vacation taken, employees should receive a 25% bonus on their daily wage as a vacation premium.
Sick Leave
Compensation for sick leave is provided by Social Security (IMSS). Qualified employees can receive up to 52 weeks of sick leave, paid at 60% of their standard wage, upon verification by medical authorities affiliated with IMSS. In cases of work-related injuries, the employee receives full compensation, amounting to 100% of their regular salary.
Public and Provincial Holidays
There are 7 public holidays in Mexico
Notice Period
While Mexico doesn't have a set statutory minimum notice period, federal labor regulations require companies to give written notice to the employee within 30 days once they become aware of any misconduct. This notice must specify the reasons for dismissal. If not provided, the labor board is responsible for issuing a termination notification. Typically, a courtesy notice of two weeks is extended in situations of 'termination without cause' or when an employee resigns.
13th Month Bonus
In Mexico, employers are required to pay a 13th-month salary, known as Aguinaldo, which must be disbursed by December 20th. The Aguinaldo is determined based on 15 workdays of pay, factored over a 365-day year, with an additional allowance included.
Setting up a separate business entity in every location where you plan to hire employees or a team is time-consuming and incurs high legal fees.
At the same time, navigating local labor laws and adhering to employee expectations can be a complex and challenging task, as is finding accurate and up-to-date employment information for all your potential hiring locations. Not to mention that tracking invoices and managing employee contracts through email and spreadsheets is messy and error-prone.
Compliance is critical in this context, and we must ensure that we follow local guidelines, particularly regarding taxes and legalities.
