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.

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.

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.

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.
