That was enlightening...the FAQ page was interesting...can you imagine companies having to pay in cash? I gather that 53 pesos is per hour? I don't
understand how so many companies can get away with paying their employees so little...it is not umcommon for city workers to get only $15-20 a day,
and field workers even less.

Shari, in the colume to the right it says "Daily Minimum Wage". The only one that really makes a difference is DF -- that amount is used to satisfy
court decisions all over Mexico (also used for official fines, multas in the same fashion).

Interesting information. It helps me understand why the Mexican government is concerned about inflation, especially how the price of oil (gas)
affects Mexican workers and their families.

duhhh...gracias amigo...makes more sense now for sure...I wonder about small corporations that foreigners set up....it says 90% of the employees have
to be mexican...if one of the emplyees is your wife, do they have to hire a few mexican folks to complete the 90% rule? I didn't know about the profit
sharing law either...very interesting..I wonder how many companies do it?

FDT, many "formal" business do NOT do it ("it"as in profit-sharing even after paying all the onerous stuff that Mexican labor law requires).
What many corporations do is have the workers work for a separate subsidiary whose sole reason for existence is employing the workers and complying
with the labor laws - it's a breakeven setup. The subsidiary presents an invoice at month-end to the parent for costs incurred, and breaks even (or
even loses money, depending on the plan.

Reparto de utilidades like aguinaldos (Christmas bonus) have to be paid ARE MANDATORY or you WILL have a huge problem with Secretaria del Trabajo y
Prevision Social "STPS". Exeptions exist if you are non profit or in your first year of business. You can read all about the law here http://www.capacitacion.conampros.gob.mx/ptu2008/ptu2008.htm
If the workers are with a separate subsidiary then they are paying it, someone HAS TO PAY IT.

FDT, I am NOT referring to aguinaldos/Christmas bonuses . . . I am talking about profit-sharing, as in 10% of corporate net going to the workers.
