Mexico increases minimum paid vacations to 12 days by lawMexico's Congress approved on Wednesday the reform to the Federal Labor Law with all amendments of the House and Senate to grant 12 continuous days of paid vacation to workers from the first year of contract, which will progressively increase to 20 days in 2029.After its final approval unanimously in the Upper House, Mexicans will be entitled to 12 days of paid vacation as from the first year of employment, double the six days currently regulated by law, as reported by 'El Sol de México'.The modification, promoted by both Morena, the ruling party, and Movimiento Ciudadano, has been approved with 116 votes in favor, zero against and zero abstentions in the Senate, being thus forwarded to the Federal Executive for its publication in the Mexican Official Gazette.Likewise, as from the sixth year of a worker in a company, the vacation period will increase by two days for every five years of service until reaching 30 days of vacation, and from there until reaching 32 days of mandatory rest for 35 years of service.The ruling, which amends Articles 76 and 78 of the Federal Labor Law, also establishes that two days of vacation will be increased for each subsequent year of work until reaching 20 days; and as of the sixth year of work, the vacation period will increase by two days for every five days of service."
