Natasha Posted January 1 Report Share Posted January 1 I'm assuming one will apply this new scale and can then continue to use rollybrook's old calculator for vacation days ( once per year with aguinaldo). Hoping Guad Reporter may publish, but in the meantime, you can see for yourself. Sorry I have to give you the whole article but don't know how to show only part. https://www.informador.mx/mexico/Vacaciones-dignas-A-partir-de-este-primero-de-enero-ya-puedes-solicitar-tus-12-dias-de-vacaciones-20230101-0025.html 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yo1 Posted January 1 Report Share Posted January 1 On that same govt. site, there is shown the new salary minimum. It's about 207 pesos a day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunshineydays Posted January 2 Report Share Posted January 2 So do they actually get those days off with full pay or are they part of the normal years end calculation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voir dire Posted January 2 Report Share Posted January 2 Our gardener gets paid for those days but continues to work. He works all the time and I highly doubt he ever takes a day off other than Sunday. We pay vacation pay every year during the month he was originally hired. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ibarra Posted January 2 Report Share Posted January 2 Our gardener works on National holidays and has never asked for additional pay. I'm with you Natasha. Why they don't want to be paid what they are entitled to is beyond me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Shrall Posted January 2 Report Share Posted January 2 If you employ someone who works 8 hours a day, 5 days a week and takes a "vacation day", the law as presented makes sense. Now if that person also works 4 hours on Saturday and happens to take a long weekend, is Saturday a "day" even though it is half the number of hours of the other days? I've never had an employee take a vacation day during 20 years in Ajijic and 9 in Guayabitos so the real question is what is the monetary value of a vacation day when paying out at year end based on the Government rules? The old Rollybrook site seems to imply that the value of one vacation day is the workers weekly rate divided by 7 or possibly 6. I believe the new government mandate makes the Rollybrook calculation guide obsolete. Hopefully new guidance will pop up during the year to clarify the monetary value of a vacation day.

(1) are you sure you're not confusing statutory holidays and annual vacation ( holiday) pay? (2) What's confusing about applying the old site and inserting new numbers? OLD guide: Year 1 -- 6 days NEW law: Year 1---12 days Year 2 -- 8 days Year 2 ---14 days Year 3 -- 10 days Year 3 ---16 Year 4 --12 days Year 4--- 18 Year 5 -- 14 days Year 5 --- 20 Year 10 -- 16 days Year 6 - 10 ---- 22 days Year 15 -- 18 days Year 11 - 15 ----24 days etc etc. 26 (days worked) divided by 365 (days in year) x 6 (old guide year one) x 1.25 (old guide) x $ daily wage = vacation pay NEW scale: insert 12 where the 6 is and proceed. Makes sense to me. Others??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Shrall Posted January 2 Report Share Posted January 2 Who says the 12 goes in place of the 6? And your example is for year 1. What about year 10 with 22 vacation days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about year 10 with 22 vacation days? If you go to the link I posted ( and ibarra added), the very large chart (just scroll down a touch) begins with the heading: The decree of Dignified Vacations in Mexico is now official, which establishes a minimum of 12 days of rest after serving one year in the same workplace. It then proceeds to tell you how many days per years worked as I outlined above. Ergo, in year 10, the old number was 16 and the new one is 22. "X" (days worked) divided by 365 (days in year) x 22 (new guide year 10) x 1.25 (old guide) x $ daily wage = vacation pay 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
