🇲🇽 Mexico · Employment & Labor
Hiring rules, employment contracts, payroll, social insurance, and EOR options.
Mexico employment is governed by federal labour law, STPS oversight, social-security registration and payroll compliance. Employers should align the contract, salary, IMSS registration and immigration basis before work starts.
- STPS is the federal labour authority; employment search and matching is supported through the Servicio Nacional de Empleo and Portal del Empleo.
- Formal payroll commonly requires IMSS registration, tax withholding and wage compliance including the applicable minimum wage zone.
- Foreign-worker employment must match the INM authorization or work-permit basis.
