Employers with a presence in Mexico should be aware of a recent change in Mexican employment law. Effective as of January 1, 2023, employees in Mexico will be entitled to more vacation days.
Employees with one to five years of seniority will enjoy six more days of vacation entitlement. Currently, the vacation entitlement for employees with one, two, three, four and five years of seniority is six, eight, 10, 12 and 14 days, respectively. The new legislation will require employers to raise those vacation-day tallies to 12, 14, 16, 18 and 20 days, respectively.
