Interview

Reduction of the Workweek Will Also Apply to Remote and Hybrid Work Arrangements

Published in Reforma

In an interview with Reforma, Juan José Soto, partner at Pérez-Llorca México in the Labor practice, explains that the reform aimed at reducing the workweek in Mexico to 40 hours will also apply to teleworking, remote work and hybrid arrangements, as the legislation does not distinguish between different forms of subordinated employment.

In the article, the specialist notes that the new hourly limit will require companies to implement technological mechanisms to record and monitor employees’ effective working hours, particularly in remote environments. These systems must identify each employee, electronically record the start and end of the workday, and ensure that such information is available to labor authorities in the event of an inspection.

He also warns that the overtime regime will apply to teleworkers as well, with a maximum limit of 12 hours per week and the corresponding additional compensation. As a result, companies will need to establish clear controls to prevent the creation of labor liabilities arising from unauthorized overtime work.
