Overview
- Argentina’s second Sueldo Anual Complementario is legally due on December 18, 2025, with a four‑business‑day grace period that extends payment through December 24.
- For the December installment in Argentina, employers must pay 50% of the best monthly remunerative salary from July to December, with a proportional amount if the semester was not fully worked.
- Mexico’s Federal Labor Law requires payment no later than December 20 and sets a minimum equivalent to 15 days of salary for a full year of service.
- Workers in Mexico who resign or are dismissed must receive a proportional aguinaldo with their final settlement, and both the claim window for workers and document‑retention guidance for employers extend up to one year.
- Mexican labor authorities caution that failure to pay can draw fines of 50 to 5,000 UMAs per affected worker (about $5,428 to $542,850 MXN), with the benefit protected from in‑kind substitution and supported by free Profedet assistance.
