The daily wage represents the compensation a worker receives for each day worked and serves as the basis for multiple labor and social security calculations. From this wage, the contribution base salary for IMSS purposes is determined, as well as employer and employee contributions, INFONAVIT contributions, and the payment of benefits, severance pay, and settlements.
An incorrect determination of the daily wage may result in contribution discrepancies, fines, and findings during IMSS audits, in addition to affecting the worker’s labor rights. Therefore, it is essential that its calculation be carried out in accordance with current labor legislation and by considering all elements that make up the salary.
