Define the vacation premium type.

Christmas bonuses and vacation premiums can be calculated based on either the daily salary or the average salary. To set up the calculation of the Christmas bonus and vacation premium, define an SDI factor on the Xmas, Vac, Premium, SDI Factor page. The SDI factor represents the amount over the daily salary or average salary that the employee makes because of the vacation premium and the Christmas bonus.

Global Payroll for Mexico calculates the SDI factor automatically based on parameters that you enter on the Xmas, Vac, Premium, SDI Factor page. The parameters are:

  • Number of Christmas bonus days.

  • Number of vacation premium days.

  • Vacation premium percent.

Based on the Christmas bonus days, the vacation premium days, and the vacation premium percent, the system determines the SDI factor, and uses it to:

  1. Calculate IMSS quotas.

  2. Define the base used to calculate vacation premiums and Christmas bonus amounts.

Example: Calculating the SDI Factor

For example, if the Christmas bonus is 30 days, and the number of vacation days is 10, with a premium of 25 percent, the system calculates the SDI factor as follows:

  1. Determine the portion of the SDI factor due to the Christmas bonus by dividing the number of Christmas bonus days by 365 (days in year).

    The result is the percentage over the daily or average salary that must be paid to the employee due to the Christmas bonus.

    Note: In this example, divide 30 by 365 (30 / 365 = 0.0821915).

  2. Determine the vacation premium portion of the SDI factor by dividing the number of vacation days by 365 (days per year), and multiplying the result by the premium percent.

    The result is the percentage over the daily or average salary that must be paid to the employee due to the vacation premium.

    Note: In this example, divide 10 by 365 and multiply the result by 25 percent (10 / 365) × 0.25 = 0.0069).

  3. Add the results of steps 1 and 2.

    The result is the percentage over the daily or average salary that must be paid to the employee due to the vacation premium and Christmas bonus.

Use the Xmas, Vac, Premium, SDI Factor (Christmas, vacation, premium SDI factor) page (GPMX_SDI_FACTOR) to define the number of Christmas bonus days, vacation days, vacation premium percent, and SDI factor by employee (based on employee seniority).

On the Absences page (Set Up HCM, Product Related, Global Payroll & Absence Mgmt, Framework, Organizational, Pay Groups MEX, Absences), define the vacation premium type.
