What You NEED to Know about Mexico Employment Law Changes
Tuesday, May 18th at 8am PT / 9am MT / 10am CT / 11am ET / 4pm London / 6pm Tel Aviv
Many were predicting this would never happen, but it did. This is a big deal and so it's time to talk with your Mexican counsel or your Mexican labor outsourcing partner.
At the core of this is that the Mexican federal government direction is to overturn the better part of a century of outsourcing which allows the employer to manage labor risk benefits. This runs counter to decades of maquiladora shelter and two entity sole owned outsourcing.
Aspects of this new reform cut across many Mexican laws and although there may be a backlash from the business community in México, we think it is time to consult your outsourcing partners, consult your Mexican lawyers and ask your accounting firm - ALL OF THEM.
The implementation of this is fast - indeed the first notices in the last 2 weeks were that it was just passing Mexico's Senate and now it appears that this is now a law with some parts having already started.
Zoom in for 55 minutes to speak with the experts on May 18th.
