The Mexican Institute of Social Security (IMSS) provides 84 consecutive days (12 weeks) of maternity leave. Your leave will start on the day indicated in your IMSS leave certificate (Incapacidad por Maternidad).

When planning your maternity leave, talk to your manager when you start your leave process with the IMSS about what your potential leave dates are. Keep in mind that the dates will be determined by the IMSS when you start your process with them.

While on maternity leave, you’ll receive your full pay for a maximum of 12 weeks.

You’re also entitled to receive IMSS subsidy benefits during maternity leave if you meet certain qualifications determined by the social security. You’re responsible for initiating the request with the IMSS, providing all necessary documents and information, and following up directly with them to receive your subsidy payment. PayPal will provide the necessary approvals in the IMSS portal, as required, but is not responsible for the social security payment.

• If social security payment does not cover your full salary, PayPal will pay the difference (if any) so that you receive 100% of your salary during maternity leave
• If you do not meet the social security requirements to receive a subsidy, PayPal will pay your full salary during your leave

Refer to the social security website for instructions on how to request maternity leave.
