Overview
- Published in the Diario Oficial on Nov. 4, the decree authorizes payment of the 2025 aguinaldo starting Nov. 10, setting 40 days of salary for base workers and up to 40 days for other federal servants.
- It covers federal personnel including operational and trust staff, members of the Foreign Service, active military, eligible pensioners, and certain fee‑based hires authorized under the federal payroll budget.
- Payments must be made directly to workers and pensioners via the same systems used for ordinary salary or pensions, with standard tax withholdings; autonomous branches may adopt the terms consistent with their own laws.
- ISSSTE will split pensioner deposits in two parts—first half of November and early January 2026—while IMSS retirees under the 1973 law received a one‑month equivalent on Nov. 3 alongside their pension.
- Article 87 of the Federal Labor Law still guarantees at least 15 days’ pay for private‑sector workers by Dec. 20, and PROFEDET notes only worker‑requested advances and court‑ordered child‑support garnishments are valid deductions, with fines possible for nonpayment.
