Overview
- Argentina’s ANSES will deposit the second half of the aguinaldo together with December benefits on a staggered schedule that starts 9 December and runs through 23 December for retirees with higher haberes.
- December liquidations in Argentina combine the monthly mobility increase, a $70,000 reinforcement bonus and the half‑yearly extra, guaranteeing a minimum of $581,319.39 for those at the floor.
- Argentina’s labor law sets 18 December as the deadline for the second SAC installment, with an operational window of four business days that allows payment through 24 December.
- Social assistance programs such as the former Potenciar Trabajo (now Volver al Trabajo and Acompañamiento Social) do not receive an aguinaldo, unlike pensions and retirements covered by ANSES.
- In Mexico, Article 87 of the Federal Labor Law requires payment before 20 December of at least 15 days’ salary, with ISR exempt up to 30 UMA ($3,300.60 for 2025) and tax withheld on the excess; labor authorities warn of fines of 50–500 UMA and give workers up to one year to claim unpaid bonuses.
