Mexico's 2021 subcontracting reform changed how EOR works there: general personnel supply is prohibited, and specialised services must be provided by companies registered in REPSE. Clients can be jointly liable if a provider isn't compliant.
For US companies building nearshore teams, the best EOR for Mexico is the one with a clear, documented compliance position on the reform, plus transparent handling of aguinaldo, profit sharing (PTU) and benefits.
- 1
Compliance with the 2021 reform
Ask for REPSE registration details and how the provider treats roles that are part of your core business.
- 2
PTU and bonus handling
Profit sharing, aguinaldo and the vacation premium are mandatory. Ask how each is calculated and invoiced.
- 3
Benefits package
Major medical insurance (SGMM) and food vouchers are standard expectations for professional roles.
- 4
Entity transition support
Larger nearshore teams often move to their own entity. Check transfer terms and advisory support.
