Overview
- In Mexico, a presidential decree published in the Diario Oficial and signed by President Claudia Sheinbaum and Finance Secretary Édgar Amador Zamora grants up to 40 days of aguinaldo for fiscal year 2025 to specified federal groups, with payments allowed from November 10.
- Eligible Mexican recipients include federal public servants, active military, members of the foreign service, certain pensioners and beneficiaries, and workers paid by public funds, while autonomous branches may mirror the measure within their budgets.
- The general rule in Mexico remains a minimum of 15 days’ pay due before December 20 under Article 87 of the Federal Labor Law, with minimum‑wage examples of about 4,182 pesos in the general zone and 6,298.20 pesos in the northern border zone for a full year worked.
- In Argentina, the second 2025 Sueldo Anual Complementario must be paid by December 18 with a four‑business‑day tolerance that can extend deposits to December 24, and ANSES will publish detailed pension calendars in early December.
- Argentine SAC is calculated as 50% of the highest gross monthly salary in the July–December period for formal employees and pensioners, with proportional formulas applied for those who did not work the entire semester.
