Mexican labour framework and tax deductibility of merch for HR

The merch for HR of the Mexican corporate is deducted as a social welfare expense, internal communications expense or marketing expense depending on the case. The seniority premium (twelve days of salary per year of service, applicable on justified dismissal, voluntary separation after fifteen years or voluntary retirement) is regulated by article 162 of the Federal Labour Law and operates as a mandatory benefit. Tenure recognition is not regulated by the LFT and operates with internal budget from the HR area or internal communications directorate.

The year-end bonus (minimum fifteen days), vacation (minimum twelve days after one year), profit sharing (PTU, 10% of corporate profits distributed among workers with at least one year of tenure) and savings fund are mandatory benefits regulated by the LFT. HR merch sits in the non-mandatory benefits space and is invoiced as an area operating expense. The invoice under CFDI 4.0 carries 16% VAT breakdown for a corporate under the General Regime, without breakdown for a corporate under RESICO. We coordinate with the corporate finance area to classify each item correctly and to ensure the invoice is supported by the internal purchase order and the receipt acknowledgement signed by the employee.

Multi-site delivery and consolidation

For corporates with operations across Mexico City, Guadalajara, Monterrey and the rest of the country we run multi-site delivery with CFDI per site and Carta Porte 3.0 supplement when the shipment is on our account. Consolidation happens at our CEDIS in Tlalnepantla, State of Mexico, and from there we distribute to each site with parcel tracking, coded list per employee and signature of the HR lead on arrival. For industrial operations inside industrial parks with restricted access we coordinate delivery with the security department and the site HR area.

For employees receiving the recognition at the board meeting, at a formal event with the managing director, or at dinner with their family we deliver the box with protocol to the corporate or to the event venue, coordinating with the maître and the protocol staff. For employees receiving the kit at home address for home office or relocation we ship with parcel tracking, signature of the addressee and prior notification to the employee's email.
