The punctuality and attendance bonus is granted to collaborators who comply with attendance and punctuality to their work. Being these an excellent option to reduce the payment of Social Security contributions since these do not integrate the base salary of the contribution. 

This benefit is not mentioned in the Federal Labor Law, but we can find it in the Social Security Law (LSS), in article 27, section VII, said section indicates the following:

What happens if it exceeds ten percent?

The surplus of the 10% that we mentioned above of said punctuality and attendance bonuses will have to be integrated into the Base Salary of Contribution. In other words, for the surplus, the calculation and integration of the bonus is carried out for purposes of paying Social Security fees.

Said surpluses are considered on a bimonthly basis in the calculation of variability for the Contribution Base Salary (SBC), also known as “previous bimester variables”.

Are punctuality and attendance bonuses taxed for ISR?

Yes, both bonds are taxed at 100% and must pay Income Tax (ISR).

Example:

For an attendance bonus calculation, we have an SBC of $350 in a fortnightly period.

  • 15 days
  • SBC$350
  • Bonus percentage 10%

Attendance bonus payable= 350* .10* 15= $525

Although this benefit is not mandatory, it is advisable to grant it, given that this could motivate workers to arrive on time and not be absent, as well as reduce the burden of paying Social Security fees. We suggest you analyze other benefits that are considered within the SBC, such as food vouchers and savings funds to obtain savings in the payment of installments.
