As we had indicated in our prior bulletin (click here to read it), the new minimum wages are:
• General minimum wage: $141.70 pesos daily.
• Minimum wage for the Northern Border Free Zone: $213.39 pesos daily.
As in previous years, to determine the above indicated amounts the CONASAMI agreed an increase of $10.46 pesos daily for the so-called Independent Recovery Amount (MIR for its initials in Spanish) plus an increase of 6%, resulting in $141.70 pesos daily (current minimum wage ($123.22 pesos) + MIR ($10.46 pesos) + 6% = $141.70). For the Northern Border Free Zone, a MIR was determined of 15.75 pesos daily plus the same increase of 6% (current minimum wage ($185.56 pesos) + MIR ($15.75 pesos) + 6% = $213.39).
It is important to note that the MIR should not be used as a reference to set increases in the other wages in effect in the labor market.
In addition, two professions are included in the list of professional minimum wages: (i) domestic workers, with an increase of 25% with respect to the current general minimum wage, which results in $154.03 pesos daily; and (ii) day laborers, with an increase of 30% with respect to the current general minimum wage, which results in $160.19 pesos daily.
For more specific information and to see the professional minimum wages, you may consult the websites of the Official Federal Gazette and the CONASAMI, at these links: DOF 23/12/2020, y GOB CONASAMI, respectively.
