3. How to set up global payroll in Mexico

The first step in setting up payroll in Mexico is to register your company with a notary public and the National Registry of Foreign Investment. The Federal Taxpayers Registry will then issue you a tax identification card.

You will not be able to pay your employees until you have registered with Mexican Social Security and obtained tax registration in the country. In 2017, Mexico implemented new Mexican Tax Revenue regulations requiring all employees' net pay to be received in official Mexican banks and paid in pesos. As a result, before making payments to employees or the government in Mexico, you must first open bank accounts in Mexico.

4. Taxation rules for global payroll in Mexico

Mexico has a progressive income tax that can reach 35% depending on an employee's salary.

Employees' retirement savings accounts are established by the country's Administrator of Retirement Funds (AFORE). All employees are eligible to create an AFORE account, which includes three subaccounts. Employers contribute between 2% and 5%, depending on the subaccount selected by the employee.

Employees must be registered for social security and insurance on the day they are hired, or face significant penalties. Employers must also deduct income tax contributions from employees' paychecks and submit them to the Mexican government on a monthly basis.

5. Payroll options for companies in Mexico

Companies that wish to expand their operations globally have four different payroll options in Mexico. These payroll options are:

1. Internal Payroll. This payroll option is applicable for already established companies in Mexico. It includes devoting an entire Human Resources staff to running the company's payroll procedures.

2. Remote Payroll. Smaller firms may lack the capacity to handle their own payroll, but they may add their workers to the parent company's payroll. This action, on the other hand, requires considerable thinking. You must guarantee that you follow the rules and laws of each nation.

Working with a local outsourcing firm is one method to retain money in the local economy, but you'll still need to study all of the local rules and regulations, since you'll be held responsible.

10. Working hours and overtime in Mexico

In general, office jobs operate from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., although working hours have increased in recent years and frequently extend until 7:00 p.m. or later. It's worth noting that in Mexico, lunch breaks range from one hour for regular workers to three hours for executives. With the advent of the modern working era, the cultural tradition of a "Siesta" became extinct.

11. Employee benefits in Mexico

The Mexican Social Security Institute (Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social, IMSS), a federal agency in Mexico, requires all workers to have access to public health care. However, given some of the drawbacks of the public health care system, such as long wait periods to visit a doctor or specialist, a scarcity of physicians, a lack of flexibility, and so on, many companies provide their workers supplementary private medical insurance.

As part of their employment compensation, several businesses provide their workers with a private insurance plan. Despite the fact that fewer than 3% of Mexicans have private medical insurance, private medical services account for 52% of overall medical expenditures in the nation. Private insurance is often chosen since it covers more costly procedures.

Because the statutory benefits in Mexico are very generous, companies seldom provide many extra perks. Flexible work hours are a typical perk, and job sharing and telecommuting opportunities are often provided. Employers may provide extra advantages such as supplementary contributions to retirement savings, reallocation allowances for foreigners, and Life Insurance on occasion.
