PEO and administration
PEO in Mexico
PEO in Mexico means someone runs employment administration with you: payroll, IMSS, INFONAVIT, benefits, HR records and reporting. It assumes you already have a Mexican employer. If you have no entity, what you actually need is Employer of Record. If the work is a defined outcome delivered by supervised personnel, it is specialized services or an SOW. We review the work, the supervision and the employing entity, then implement the structure that is lawful and cheapest to operate.

- Nationwide across all 32 states, across industries and functions

01The situation
Same Word, Three Very Different Structures
PEO is a North American term that does not map cleanly onto Mexican employment law. Companies arrive asking for a PEO and, once the facts are on the table, need one of three things: administration on their own entity, employment through ours, or a supervised service delivered against a scope.
Getting this wrong is expensive in the direction that matters. A structure that misstates who employs, who supervises and what is being bought is the exposure that Mexican labor, tax and subcontracting requirements are designed to catch.
We are a Mexican operating company with local recruiting, employment and payroll capability, and we hold REPSE registration for applicable specialized services. That means we can implement whichever of the three is correct, rather than selling you the one we happen to have.
PEO Mexico in plain terms
PEO arrangement
An arrangement where employment administration, payroll, social security, benefits and HR records is run by a specialist provider while the client's own legal entity remains the employer of record.

Answers
Frequently asked questions
The questions buyers ask us before they commit. If yours is not here, send it and a Mexico specialist answers it directly.
Ask a Mexico SpecialistIs a PEO in Mexico the same as an EOR?+
Buyers use PEO and EOR interchangeably, but they describe different relationships. A PEO arrangement assumes you already have a legal employer in the country and want the administration handled with you. An EOR arrangement means the local company is the formal employer because you have no entity. In Mexico the correct structure is decided by the work, who supervises it, the employing entity and applicable specialized-services requirements, not by the label on the proposal.
Which one do we need?+
If you already have a Mexican entity and want payroll, benefits, IMSS and HR administration run properly, the PEO style arrangement is administration on your entity. If you have no Mexican entity and need people employed now, that is EOR. If the work is a defined outcome delivered by our supervised personnel, that is specialized services or an SOW. We review the facts and recommend one.
Can you take over administration of employees we already have?+
Yes. Transitioning an existing payroll and workforce onto administered payroll is standard work: employee data, contracts, IMSS and INFONAVIT records, benefit continuity, payroll calendar and reporting, with continuity of service and seniority preserved.
How is it priced?+
Administration is priced per employee per month, separately from the statutory cost that Mexican law imposes on the employer. You receive one USD invoice with exchange-rate protection while payroll runs in pesos.
Do we lose control of our people?+
No. You keep day to day direction, performance management and team decisions. The administration, compliance and reporting sit with us, with visibility into headcount, cost and payroll through the technology layer used across our delivery.
