Employers are required to pay the bonus, which is the amount that by legal provision will be given every end of the year to the workers for whom they have contracted their services.
In addition, this right has its legal basis in article 87 of the Federal Labor Law (LFT) and establishes that:
”Workers will be entitled to an annual bonus, which must be paid Before the twentieth of December, equivalent to Fifteen days of salary, at least. ...”.
Workers who have not completed one year of service must receive the proportional part of what is stipulated in their contract, or if the worker resigns before it is granted, they must also receive the corresponding proportional amount.
It is important to mention that this benefit does not increase due to the length of time the worker is, the salary for the working year is simply taken into account for its calculation.
Finally, those companies that have extralegal benefits will be able to pay the excess of the mandatory fifteen days before or after December 20 of the current year.
