  1. Just curious. You've never appeared ( in THIS I.D. form) before now. So who made YOU the IMSS enrolment police???

  5. My own thought was that this was someone who had posted on the forum before. Unusually combative and confident for a new comer, but I stay out of the forum wars by choice (well before this post) and don't recognize styles, etc. Curious what is misogynistic about Natasha's post? And now that I'm ignoring my own very good advice about staying out of "forum wars"... please explain your understanding of cultural appropriation as it applies to this topic?

  7. Turn down the street, towards the lake, between iShop and the Ferreteria in San Antonio. Go past Lety's Mariscos and just before the next street on your right is a laundry. I know they dye stuff because I had my curtains "refreshed" with the original colour that had faded in the sun. They also sell the packages of dye there (as does Walmart in the bleach and laundry section). I suggest you take it to that laundry because they have big machines which will give lots of room to make sure the saturation of the dye is complete. And they know how to "fix" the dye so it won't run. Edited to add: or you can buy a duvet cover and pretend the comforter is a duvet. Then no one will ever know that there was ever a stain on it.

  11. Lack of knowledge isn't a legal grounds for ommission. This is a workgroup that has historically been excluded and discriminated against. It's high time they're respected for their work and receive the benefits that are due to them. You've now seen the law, if you choose not to participate, that's on you.

  12. You also have to make an appt. online, which you still have to wait forever and You cannot bring anyone with you into the appt. except the person buying the car. Since Covid only 1 person per appt. Doesn't matter if you do not speak Spanish, you cannot bring a facilitator or translator.

  13. If a person works for 10 different employers per month, it doesn't make sense that all 10 must provide IMSS for this worker. How would the IMSS police (jaja) even know what employer isn't providing IMSS? I don't believe the workers actually record the employer's names when they file taxes, only income amount. What if the worker is included in a family IMSS plan, like a wife included on her husbands plan? As usual, more questions than answers regarding legislation.

  14. Any verbal agreement that you have with your employees, are just that. If things turn ugly you will be "guilty ", regardless if you are a generous employer The law is on the side of the worker, period. For peace of mind use a manager or go to a attorney . Gifts etc in lieu of correct payment is unacceptable. And the annual col payments etc can add up when it comes to termination.

  15. And if, later on, they claim you refused to pay them correctly and get a lawyer?

  16. So it's o.k. not to abide by the law? What is the penalty if caught "aiding and abetting." Who gets penalized, the employer, the employee, or both?

  17. JKL, you should relax for a bit until you have spent more time living in Mexico, if you are newly arrived. A very small percentage of law breakers (including murderers) are jailed or punished in Mexico. That is a fact. There is very little effective response to real criminal behavior. Most of us pay and treat our gardeners and cleaning women well. Some of us overpay our help. We and they appreciate each other. If I really had to pay IMSS for my employees, I couldn't afford it. So there'd be a gardener and a cleaning woman out of a job. Multiply that fact by many ex-pats' reality. Lexy

  18. Have the employee sign a document stating they don't want IMSS and date it.
