Overview
- Argentina’s Sueldo Anual Complementario equals 50% of the highest monthly salary in the semester and is prorated as (best monthly pay ÷ 12) × months worked when the period is incomplete.
- The Argentine second installment is due before December 18 under Law 20,744, employers may advance or split payment by agreement, and typical deductions of roughly 15%–17% apply to the gross amount.
- In Mexico, the aguinaldo is a mandatory minimum of 15 days’ pay for private‑sector workers and must be paid before December 20, calculated on the integrated salary with averaging for variable income.
- Mexican workers who do not receive the benefit or receive it short must first attempt mandatory prejudicial conciliation and may then file in the Labor Tribunal, with a one‑year window to claim from the due date.
- Official calendars indicate early disbursements for pensioners in Mexico: IMSS Ley 73 beneficiaries on Monday, November 3, and ISSSTE pensioners in the first half of November in two parts.
