Overview
- Labor Secretary Marath Bolaños urged full compliance with the 2026 profit‑sharing season, reminding employers that PTU equals 10% of a firm’s taxable profit and is distributed by days worked and by pay level.
- PROFEDET reiterated that former employees keep the right to PTU if they worked at least 60 days in the fiscal year and can file a claim for up to one year after the payment deadline.
- New guidance extends PTU to some drivers and couriers on apps like Uber, DiDi and Rappi if they log at least 288 hours of effective work and show subordination to the platform, with only active trip or delivery time counting toward the threshold.
- Implementation is already producing friction in Querétaro, where officials reported three stoppages over PTU, including a case with declared zero profit that ended with a negotiated bonus instead of profit sharing.
- Authorities flagged fines of about 29,327.50 to 586,550 pesos for nonpayment and directed workers to PROFEDET for free help by phone, email or in person if deposits do not arrive or amounts look wrong.
