I can imagine that aguinaldo is a favorite word during this time of year.

If giving to the garbage collectors, just make sure you give to the guys who come with the regular garbage truck. There have been reports from some areas of Mexico of scammers coming to people's doors claiming to be garbage collectors, asking for their aguinaldo.

Also, aguinaldo and vacation pay are govt. mandated for any regular employees you have, like cleaners and gardeners. They are calculated according to specific formulas- it isn't a matter of just handing them some amount you think is appropriate. Employers should also get their employees to sign for the aguinaldo and vacation pay. I know several people whose employees filed demandas claiming they never were paid these mandated amounts, and in many cases, their employers were shocked, as the person had been working for them for years, they thought of the employee as a friend, or even "part of the family", who they never would have thought would lie and try to extract more money from them.

Or people have been bamboozled into giving out aguinaldo to workers they have no obligation to. For instance, if you hire an independent contractor who has a crew working for him, the contractor is responsible for the aguinaldo and vacation pay for his employees, not the homeowner.

It's wise, if you own a home in Mexico, to apprise yourself of labor law here so nothing comes back to bite you.
