Understanding Overtime
In Mexico, employees are paid overtime for:
Regular overtime
Holidays worked
Days off worked
To define overtime:
Define the overtime calendar for your pay group on the Overtime Calendar page.
Define the overtime parameters for your pay group on the Overtime Parameters page.
This includes information such as the maximum overtime that is going to be paid double. For example, let's say that the maximum number of double hours of overtime per week is 9. If an employee works 12 hours of overtime in one week, then the first 9 hours will be calculated at a double rate, and the remaining 3 hours will be calculated at a triple rate.
Record overtime hours worked for employees either daily or weekly on the Enter Overtime MEX page.
When capturing the total number of overtime hours for a day, the system automatically splits the hours into double and triple rates, as defined by the maximum limits on double and triple hours, taking into consideration all the weekly and daily overtime parameters.
The system captures the total number of overtime hours for a week in the same way as for a day, but splits the hours for the week, instead of for the day. For example, if an employee works 12 hours of overtime in one week, then the first 9 hours will be calculated at a double rate, and the remaining 3 hours will be calculated at a triple rate. Only the weekly parameters are considered for weekly overtime.
Generate a report that details overtime for an employee on the Overtime MEX page.
You can specify to generate the report daily (with detail) or weekly (without detail).
Note. The Overtime Calendar page and the Overtime Parameters page are discussed in another chapter in this PeopleBook.

Entering Overtime
This section provides an overview of recording overtime and discusses how to:
Enter daily overtime
Enter weekly overtime
Recording OvertimeSome companies prefer to record overtime on a daily basis and other companies prefer to record it on a weekly basis. Depending on what your business process is, you can record overtime for your employees either daily or weekly. Each employee's overtime record is keyed by pay group, year, week, calendar ID, and the employee's ID and record number.
The formula for calculating overtime is the number of overtime hours worked times the hourly rate times 2 or 3 depending on the overtime parameters you've defined on the Overtime Parameters page.
The system automatically updates positive input records for the employee to synchronize with daily and weekly overtime entries. Also, when you make changes to previously entered overtime and save, the system updates the positive input accordingly.
Note. For each overtime record that you create for an employee, you must select whether to create daily or weekly overtime entries. If you save overtime details and later change between daily and weekly overtime for the employee's specific overtime record, the system deletes the previously saved data.

Integrating Overtime Pay to the Variable SDI Base
For social security base purposes, overtime is divided into three categories:
Non-integrating overtime.
This is the total of overtime hours per week that are calculated as double. This overtime has a limit of no more than 3 hours a day and 3 times a week according to the parameters defined on the Overtime Parameters page.
Integrating overtime beyond three hours a day.
These hours are paid as double and will integrate 100 percent to the variable SDI base.
Integrating overtime beyond nine hours a week.
These hours are paid as triple and will integrate 100 percent to the variable SDI base.
The system calculates overtime in this way:
Determines all the number of hours that fall in each of these categories.
Calculates the amount per hour according to the daily salary.
Multiplies the rate per hour that results for the hours in each category.
Taxing Overtime
Part of overtime pay is taxable and part of it is non-taxable. This depends on the type of worker:
Minimum salary workers.
Above minimum salary workers.
For minimum salary workers, all double hours below three hours daily and up to three times a week is non-taxable. The remainder of overtime is taxed at 100 percent.
For above minimum salary workers, 50 percent of the overtime is non-taxable up to 5 times the minimum wage. This means that while 50 percent is not greater than 5 times the minimum wage for each overtime week, everything above this limit should be taxable.
Example of Non-Taxable Overtime for Minimum Salary Workers
Hourly rate = 5.65 MXN
Overtime hours worked in one week (9 hours double and 2 hours triple) = 11 hours
Double overtime hours earned = 9 hours x 5.65 = 50.85 x 2 (double) = 101.70 MXN (non-taxable)
Triple overtime hours earned = 2 hours x 5.65 = 11.30 x 3 (triple) =33.90 MXN (100 percent taxable)
Non-taxable overtime = 101.70 MXN
Taxable overtime = 33.90 MXN
Examples of Taxable and Non-Taxable Overtime for Above Minimum Salary Workers
Example 1:
Minimum wage = 45.24 MXN
5 times minimum wage = 226.20 MXN
Overtime in Week 1 = 150.00 MXN
Taxable overtime = 75.00 MXN
Non-taxable overtime = 75.00 MXN
Note. The non-taxable portion of overtime is 75.00 MXN, because 75.00 MXN is not greater than 5 times minimum wage (which would be 226.20 MXN).
Example 2:
Minimum wage = 45.24 MXN
5 times minimum wage = 226.20 MXN
Overtime in Week 2 = 550.00 MXN
Taxable overtime = 323.80 MXN
Non-taxable overtime = 226.20 MXN
Note. The non-taxable portion of overtime is 226.20 MXN, because 275.00 MXN (50 percent of the overtime) is greater than 5 times minimum wage (226.20 MXN). Therefore, the non-taxable portion of the overtime is capped at 5 times minimum wage.

All the earnings named SEM are elements you should use. These earnings are intended to serve as a bridge between the input pages for overtime and the positive input they generate. For example, if you enter 3 double overtime hours, it will be stored in the T EX DOB SEM earning as positive input, and later, it will be processed in the T EXTRA DOBL earning and other earnings (taxable and non-taxable).
TE FM EXENTO is a PeopleSoft-delivered formula. It calculates the taxable and non-taxable portion for all the overtime earnings (double, holiday, days off worked). This calculation is executed separately every week.
Note. The PeopleSoft system delivers a query that you can run to view the names of all delivered elements designed for Mexico. Instructions for running the query are provided in the PeopleSoft Global Payroll 9.1 PeopleBook.
