How to use it

Your first 15 minutes

The 4 steps below run in the order they are numbered, and by the last one you track the phase-in steps and your communications.

  1. Confirm the reform applies to your operations in Mexico and pick the phase-in target for the current year.

  2. Inventory each affected role in the tracker and adopt the transition policy, setting the standard hours, the rest days, and the overtime rules.

  3. Model the coverage gap and the overtime cost, then send the employee notice and the schedule-change agreement, with the Spanish versions reviewed by a Spanish-speaking HR or legal professional.

  4. Track the phase-in steps and your communications, confirm the current Ley Federal del Trabajo rule before you act, and take changes to working conditions to counsel.
