Mexico does not currently require employers to report their gender pay gap. However, the government promotes voluntary compliance with the Mexican Standard on Labour Equality and Non-Discrimination, offering certification for adherence. While not mandatory, this standard encourages equal opportunities, non-discrimination, and the prevention of workplace violence. Also note that companies operating in Mexico with employees in the European Union will need to comply with the EU Pay Transparency Directive.

Employers in Mexico and the EU Pay Transparency Directive
The most significant piece of pay equity, pay transparency, and pay reporting legislation was recently adopted in the European Union: the EU Pay Transparency Directive.
While this Directive will not directly impact employees in Mexico, employers headquartered in Mexico will be impacted if they have employees in any EU Member State. Many of the Directive’s pay equity and pay transparency obligations will apply to employers with any employees in the EU. Some obligations, like pay gap reporting, will apply to employers with more employees in the EU.
There’s also a growing trend of countries learning from and adopting elements of pay gap reporting laws from around the world so the EU Pay Transparency Directive may be a roadmap for future developments in Mexico.
Syndio provides a comprehensive solution for the EU Pay Transparency Directive with everything you need to plan, prepare, and comply. Learn more ->
