- In Mexico, January 1 is a statutory rest day and anyone who works must receive triple pay in total under the Federal Labor Law, per Profedet guidance.
- Mexico’s banking calendar lists January 1 as a non‑working day, so branches are closed while ATMs and mobile banking remain available, according to CNBV/DOF notices.
