My postal delivery person (Carlos) expects a propina for his services about November.

That borders on ludicrous considering the laughable reputation of the agency.
Do you really receive enough mail through CorreoMex to consider a gift for the postman? That's hard to imagine.

I work with Mexicanos. They for a Mexican subsidiary, I for the U.S. Company. I can tell you that the Aguinaldo is definitely a requirement in Mexico.
It falls under "profit sharing", also a requirement. The chapter quoted by Dennis is the relevant one.
It has nothing to do with donations during Christmas time.

Actually, article 87, which I posted above, has to do with the Aguinaldo.
Profit sharing is covered in these articles and they're lengthy, so I won't post them here:
PARTICIPATION OF THE WORKERS IN THE
PROFITS OF COMPANIES,
Articles 117-131

What you gave the garbage guys was a propina, or regalo....not an aguinaldo which is mandated by law to be paid by their employer.
What you gave came from the heart. That's why it felt so good.

This was posted on the Punta Banda Bulletin Board this AM:
The aguinaldo must equal 15 days of salary. To calculate the amount for a part-time employee, divide the number of days worked during the year past
by 365. Multiply that figure by 15 x the daily salary to determine the amount of the aguinaldo.
Examples:
If you have an employee who works one day a week for $50 pesos:
52/365 x 15 x 50 = $106.85 pesos
________________________________________________
So, if you have part time gardner that works for you 4 hours every other week for $300 pesos you owe him (0.5x52) /365 x 15 x $300 = $320 peso and if
he works for others the remaining 4 hours/day and works 6 days/week for the same wages he will be due a total $3,846 pesos
...and of course the "employee" always pays the government taxes on every Aguinaldo he receives.

We tip the garbage guys 50 pesos (total) and a coca-cola for each guy Saturday. They play with our dogs and actually wait for us to come down if we
should oversleep. For Christmas we hand EACH of the men 200 pesos each. We will give our house-man two weeks pay. That's it.

 And....what did he give you? Can't say good service. You already paid for that.
Are you concerned that there may develop an "Occupy Woooosh's House" movement if you don't redistribute your wealth?
Jes Kiddin', Craig. I think you're extremely generous.
