Frequently
asked questions

Yes. We manage IMSS (social security) and INFONAVIT (housing fund) registration and contributions, mandatory aguinaldo (13th month bonus, minimum 15 days’ salary due by December 20), and profit sharing (PTU) where applicable. We also structure contracts to comply with Mexico’s 2021 outsourcing reform, which restricts labor subcontracting and requires REPSE registration for any entity providing specialized services, a rule that materially changed how EOR and staffing arrangements work in Mexico.

Beyond the mandatory aguinaldo, IMSS, and vacation premium (a 25% bonus on vacation pay), competitive employers in Mexico commonly add a ‘vales de despensa’ grocery voucher allowance, major medical insurance on top of IMSS coverage, and savings fund contributions, which carry favorable tax treatment up to certain limits. These extras are widely expected in professional and technical roles.

Mexico’s Federal Labor Law does not require advance notice for termination, but unjustified dismissal triggers a severance obligation of three months’ salary plus 20 days’ salary per year of service, plus accrued benefits. Because Mexican labor law is strongly protective of employees and labor boards frequently rule in the worker’s favor, exits need to be documented carefully, whether handled directly or via mutual agreement.

Onboarding through an EOR typically takes about one to two weeks for IMSS registration and contract execution, compared with the two to three months often required to incorporate a Mexican entity and complete tax (RFC), IMSS employer, and REPSE registrations where applicable. Given the added complexity introduced by the 2021 outsourcing reform, using an already-registered EOR is often the simplest compliant route to hiring in Mexico.

Mexico’s 2021 labor reform tightened the rules around outsourcing and subcontracting, and non-compliant arrangements carry real financial and reputational risk. A properly registered EOR handles IMSS, INFONAVIT, aguinaldo, and PTU compliance while carrying the associated employer liability, letting you hire in Mexico without incorporation costs or navigating REPSE registration yourself.
