Payroll services in Mexico, run by people who file it every week.

Calculation, tax withholding, digital stamping, bank dispersion, social security and housing fund contributions, and the statutory reporting that keeps everything deductible. We run it for companies with their own Mexican entity, and for companies who would rather we be the legal employer and skip the entity entirely.

Direct question, direct answer

What makes payroll in Mexico different?

Three things catch foreign finance teams out. First, every payslip is a tax document: it must be issued as a digital invoice, stamped through an authorized provider and reported to the tax authority, so a mistake is filed with the government rather than fixed quietly next cycle. Second, social security and housing fund contributions run on their own calendars and their own calculation bases, separate from income tax withholding, which is why a US-style gross-to-net model does not translate. Third, several benefits that are discretionary elsewhere are statutory here, including the year-end bonus, the vacation premium and profit sharing. They are obligations with deadlines, not line items you can defer to a better quarter.

What the service covers

Everything between the timesheet and the filing.

Attendance intake

Biometric and geolocated clock-in with shift patterns, rest days and overtime thresholds configured to Mexican labor law, so overtime is calculated from the record instead of reconstructed at cycle close.

Feeds the cycle automatically

Calculation and withholding

Gross to net with income tax withholding, employment subsidy where applicable, social security and housing fund deductions, loan and garnishment handling, and the benefit structure your package defines.

Weekly, biweekly or monthly

Stamping and dispersion

Digital payslips stamped through an authorized provider and reported to the tax authority, plus bank layout generation and electronic transfer so people are paid on the date they were told.

Stamped files archived per period

Contributions and filings

Social security and housing fund contributions calculated, paid and evidenced, on their own calendars. Statutory reporting submitted on time, with acknowledgements shared to your account.

On the authority's calendar, not ours

Statutory events

Year-end bonus, vacation and vacation premium, profit sharing calculation and distribution, severance calculations, and the annual reconciliations. The ones with deadlines, handled before the deadline.

Calendared, not improvised

Reporting your team can read

A dashboard where your finance team pulls cost by cost center, headcount movement, stamped receipts and filing acknowledgements, in their own time zone, without emailing anyone in Mexico for a spreadsheet.

Two ways to buy it

Processing for your entity, or we employ the staff.

If you have a Mexican entity and your own staff, you probably want payroll processing: you stay the employer, we run the machinery. If you do not have an entity, or you have one but want variable headcount off your books, you want the specialized services structure: we become the legal employer under our REPSE registration and invoice you for a service. Same payroll operation underneath. Different legal position, different documentation, different exposure.

Frequently asked

Payroll questions from foreign finance teams.

Can you run payroll for our own Mexican entity?
Yes, as a standalone service. You stay the employer; we handle calculation, withholding, stamping, dispersion, contribution payment and statutory reporting on the cycles you use. Priced per cycle and headcount.
How long does a migration take?
A clean migration takes one to two full cycles: we parallel-run the first one against your current output and reconcile the differences before cutting over. Migrations that go wrong are almost always migrations that skipped the parallel run to save two weeks.
What documentation supports deductibility?
Under the specialized services structure: the stamped invoice for the period, the monthly positive tax compliance opinion, proof that social security and housing fund contributions were paid for the assigned staff, and the quarterly SISUB and ICSOEX acknowledgements. Without that package the invoices are not deductible and joint liability is on the table.
Can you handle multiple pay cycles at once?
Yes, and most industrial accounts need it. Weekly for plant and operational staff, biweekly for administrative, monthly for management, often in the same company. Contributions follow their own calendars regardless of the cycle mix.
Who answers when something is wrong on a payslip?
The consultant assigned to your account, in your time zone, by name. Payroll errors in Mexico are filed with the tax authority when the payslip is stamped, so they get corrected through a formal process rather than an adjustment next cycle. Speed of response matters more here than in most countries.
