# Employment Records Mexico

> Unlock valuable insights into your users' employment history and financial stability with Belvo's Employment Records resource for Mexico. Access comprehensive data on social security contributions and employment history to enhance your risk assessment, streamline onboarding, and more.


## Introduction

With Belvo's employment resources for Mexico, you can access comprehensive information about your user's employment status and history. We offer two key resources:

**Employment Records**: Access historical social security contributions and employment history. For each user, we return:

- personal data
- work history
- historical and current daily base salary
- employment score (only available for IMSS)
An employment score provides insight into the likelihood of a user meeting their future financial obligations in a given period. For each employment record we provide a score for the upcoming 3, 6, and 12 months.


**Current Employments**: Get the current employment status information. For each user, we return:

- current employment status (employed/unemployed)
- current salary information (base and monthly salary)
- current employer details

## Connecting Users (Links)

In order to extract data about your users, they will need to connect their account using the Belvo API (see the integration options below). When they connect their account, we create a *link* between the user and the institution.

Depending on your use case, we offer two different link types:

| Link Type  | Description |
|  --- | --- |
| Recurrent | Data is automatically retrieved at a given interval (daily, weekly, monthly) and you are notified via webhook. Ideal for ongoing monitoring and up-to-date insights. |
| Single | Data is retrieved "on demand". Useful for one-time evaluations or user-initiated requests. |


For more information about link types, the refresh intervals, and what data is extracted automatically, please see our dedicated Links article.

## Integration Options

To extract employment data in Mexico, you can use the following integration options:

### Belvo Hosted Widget

For mobile-native applications, we've created a hosted version of our widget that significantly simplifies your development and integration process. All it requires is for you to create a webview in your application and some knowledge of handling deeplink redirects.
