Company Loans

When an employee has one company loan, a loan payment amount is determined and deducted from the employee's pay regularly as agreed upon by the company and the employee.

When an employee has more than one company loan, payment numbers are assigned to each loan and each loan has a separate cash balance.

Number

Loan Amount

Monthly Payment

Cash Balance

Payment number

Loan Balance

If the loan balance is lower than what you defined, then the monthly payment is equal to the loan balance; else the monthly payment is as defined by you.

Loan amount − Monthly payments

Faltante de Caja

You'll define these parameters in the system:

Number

Faltante de Caja

Legal Ceiling

Operator

Cash Balance

Monthly Payment

Payment number

Cash balance + new Faltante de Caja

(Monthly salary − Monthly wage zone) * 30 %

Faltante de Caja < or > legal ceiling

Faltante de Caja − Monthly payments

If Faltante de Caja < legal ceiling, then monthly payment =Faltante de Caja; else, if legal ceiling > 0, then monthly payment = legal ceiling; else = 0.

INFONAVIT Loans

Employees can repay INFONAVIT loans in several ways:

  • Fixed amount − a monthly fixed amount will be deducted from the employee's pay.

  • Percentage − depending on the original loan agreement, 20%, 25%, or 30% of an employee's pay will be deducted.

  • Number of times the minimum wages − the number of times the minimum wage that is to be deducted from an employee's pay is defined.

You'll define your loan payment option on the Request Loans MEX Page.

FONACOT Loans

The system automatically sets the Payment Type as Amount and the frequency for FONACOT loans as monthly. The payment is calculated as follows:

Payment = (Monthly payment / 30) * (Days in the period − Absences)

The days in the period are taken depending on the period frequency, for example, monthly (30 days), semimonthly (15 days), biweekly (14 days), and weekly (7 days).
