What is the aguinaldo?
The christmas bonus is a compulsory payment that they have to give the employers to their employees in December (that’s why it is known as the aguinaldo christmas or decembrino), established in article 87 of the Federal Labour Act, 1970, being a payment independent of the bi-weekly payments or monthly made during the year.
What says the Federal Labor Law in Mexico?
This compensation is a right of all employees that work within the country and are paid a wage. For employees who have spent more than a year working in a company, it is up to 15 days of salary. In case of not having this age, you should learn how to calculate the year-end bonus proportional.
To do this, you need to look at how much you earn a collaborator by half and divide it by 365 days of the year. Then, multiply by the number of days worked of the employee.
