Does any of this sound familiar?
📋
Your HR team spends full days calculating Mexican payroll instead of focusing on people.
⚠️
IMSS, tax-stamping or payment errors that generate employee complaints and legal risk — hard to catch from outside Mexico.
📜
Constant changes in Mexican law (CFDI 4.0, PTU profit-sharing, IMSS reforms) that cost time and money to track from headquarters.
💸
Hiring and training payroll specialists in Mexico means a high fixed cost, even in slow months.
Important: this is payroll outsourcing, not an Employer of Record
✕ What this is NOT
An EOR or PEO service
We do not become the legal employer of your staff, and this is not a way to hire in Mexico without your own entity. If that’s what you need, look for an Employer of Record provider instead.
VS
✓ What this IS
Full payroll processing for your own Mexican entity
Your employees stay on your company’s own payroll, under your Mexican legal entity and IMSS employer registration. Our team handles the calculation, tax stamping and legal filings — you keep full control of your people.
If you don’t yet have a legal entity in Mexico, we can still walk you through how this service plugs in once your entity is registered — see the FAQ below.

See how this is calculated
The in-house cost assumes a range of $420 to $650 MXN per employee/month depending on your company's size: as headcount grows, fixed costs (payroll software, technical support, tax advisory) are spread across more people and the per-employee cost drops. This range comes from adding up: payroll specialist(s) based on team size, payroll software licensing, technical support and SAT (tax authority) updates, outside tax advisory, an estimated cost of errors/fines, and statutory benefits (~35% on top of HR and payroll salaries). Market estimates based on Computrabajo, Indeed and Glassdoor (Mexico, 2025–2026). The People Cloud cost is fixed, at $279 MXN per employee/month (minimum $5,000 MXN/month), regardless of your company's size. Figures are for reference only — your actual proposal may vary based on pay periods and frequency.

Payroll outsourcing, payroll software, or in-house management?
Here's how Payroll Outsourcing compares with the other two ways to run payroll in Mexico.

Is payroll outsourcing right for your company?
  • You have 50 to 2,000 employees in Mexico and already have (or are registering) your own Mexican legal entity.
  • You want to hand off the operational side of payroll without losing administrative control.
  • You’re looking for guaranteed compliance with SAT, IMSS and INFONAVIT without keeping an in-house Mexican payroll specialist.
  • You’ve found it hard to keep up with Mexican tax and labor reforms (CFDI 4.0, PTU, IDSE) from headquarters.
Not quite your situation?

If your HR team prefers to run payroll directly, without handing off the calculations, our Payroll Software ($109 MXN/employee) gives you the same legal compliance and IDSE integration, with your own team in control.

FAQ

Before you sign up

No. Payroll Outsourcing is a service where People Cloud processes and manages payroll for employees who remain employed by your own company, under your existing (or newly registered) Mexican legal entity. We do not become the legal employer of your staff. If you need to hire in Mexico without setting up your own entity, you will want an Employer of Record provider instead — happy to point you in the right direction if that is your situation.

Yes. People Cloud operates under strict data security and confidentiality protocols. All of your company and employee information is protected under confidentiality agreements (NDAs) and compliance with Mexico's Federal Law on Protection of Personal Data. With over 15 years of experience and 500+ client companies, People Cloud guarantees accuracy and security in every payroll process.

People Cloud's Payroll Outsourcing service starts at $279 MXN per employee per month. The final cost depends on headcount, payroll complexity and any additional services required. You can request a personalized quote at no cost.

Company tax information and employer registrations, an employee list with salaries and IMSS data, your pay calendar and pay periods, and monthly incidents (absences, overtime, vacation, bonuses). People Cloud assigns you a dedicated account manager to guide you through the initial setup.

People Cloud runs a pre-payroll validation process where you review and approve the calculation before any payment is made. If an error is found, our team corrects it immediately. People Cloud also provides support Monday through Friday during business hours.

Yes — Payroll Outsourcing processes payroll for employees of your own Mexican legal entity, so you will need one (or be actively registering one) before we can run your payroll. If you are still evaluating entering the Mexican market, we can walk you through what is involved in setting up an entity and how this service plugs in once it is ready.

Yes. Our team can support your headquarters and Mexico-based staff in English throughout onboarding and ongoing service, in addition to Spanish.
