From the bustling energy of Mexico City and the manufacturing hubs in Monterrey to the lush seaside towns of the Yucatán Peninsula, Mexico is globally known for its vibrant culture, an active tourism sector, and its key role in global supply chains. The automotive industry, electronics production, and agriculture are prominent features of Mexico’s economy. However, the country’s labor landscape is not static, and workplace informality, shifting union agreements, and a mandatory digital invoicing system are all aspects that multinationals need to be aware of. 

In this episode of Payroll Around the World, we speak to ADP experts Delia Hernandez, Delivery Compliance Manager for the Americas, and Carlos Mandujano, Director of Operations for Mexico, to discuss minimum wage requirements, the national discussion around legal working hours, and many other aspects of doing business and managing a workforce in Mexico. We also hear from Marco, an employee at a major manufacturing firm that has just phased out its former 48-hour workweek.
