Compensation & Benefits in Mexico.
Compensation & Benefits in Mexico.
Compensation and benefits are two critical parts of Mexico’s employment laws.
As of January 1, 2023, Mexico’s minimum wage is MXN 207.44 per day according to Mexico compensation laws. This is true for all states except those at the Northern Border. Northern Border states (Baja California, Sonora, Chihuahua, Coahuila, Nuevo Leon, and Tamaulipas) have a minimum wage of MXN 312.41 per day. You can pay employees weekly, or biweekly depending on what is outlined in the employment contract. The net pay, which includes salary, cash benefits in kind, and hardship allowances, must be received in official Mexico banks and paid in pesos.
Employees are also entitled to an Aguinaldo — a yearly bonus. The Aguinaldo typically equals 15 days of salary and amounts to about 2 weeks of pay. Larger companies may give up to 4 or 6 weeks. Sales employees often get large sales commissions or quota bonuses.
