Mexico has increased its minimum wage from 1 January
2020
On 16 December 2019, the Council of Representatives of the
Minimum Wage National Committee resolved to increase the minimum
wage by 20%, which means that minimum a general daily wage
increases from MXN 102.68 to MXN 123.22 per day has been effective
since 1 January 2020.
Conversely, the daily minimum wage applicable in cities located
in a strip of 25 kilometers from the Mexico-US border was increased
by 5% and is now set at MXN 185.56.
Federal Labour Law provides that the Minimum Wage National
Committee meets once a year at the end of each year to set the
minimum daily wage for the next year. This means that the minimum
wage in Mexico changes annually and the new minimum wage enters
into force on the first day of each year.
