Overview
- Hacienda’s guidelines allow federal bonuses to be split into two 50% installments beginning November 10, with detailed calculation rules by personnel type including operational staff, managers, the Foreign Service and active military.
- The presidential decree covers federal base employees, trust and linkage personnel, certain honorarios contracted with public funds, and pensioners, while other branches and autonomous bodies may use it as a reference without compromising their autonomy.
- ISSSTE will deposit the first part of the aguinaldo in the first half of November and the second in early January 2026, and IMSS pensioners under the 1973 law received their bonus on November 3.
- For the private sector, Article 87 of the Labor Law still mandates at least 15 days’ pay by December 20, and only the portion above 30 days of the general minimum wage (8,480.17 pesos in 2025) is subject to income tax.
- Active federal workers affiliated to FSTSE are set to receive grocery vouchers of about 14,900 pesos in the first half of November, and PROFEDET notes only advances or court‑ordered child support may reduce the bonus and offers free recourse for disputes.
