The Senate of the Republic announced this Thursday that it passed to commissions the memorandum on the reform on labor subcontracting matters which was approved this week in the House of Representatives.
The Upper House sent the ruling to the joint commissions of Labor and Social Welfare and Legislative Studies, Second, to be discussed later in the Full Session.
It should be recalled that on Tuesday, April 13, the plenary session of the House of Representatives approved, by majority, the amendment to various provisions of the Federal Labor Law, the Federal Social Security Law, the Law of the National Workers’ Housing Fund Institute, the Federal Tax Code, the Income Tax Law, the Value Added Tax Law, the Federal Law of Workers at the Service of the State and of the Regulatory Law on Section XIII BIS of Part B of Article 123 of the Political Constitution of the United Mexican States, in this matter.
With this, the legislative process that will allow the application of the changes that will prohibit personnel subcontracting, such as employer substitution is intended to be complied with, and it will only allow its use in case of specialization.
In this regard, Germán de la Garza de Vecchi, leading partner of Labor Services at Deloitte México, explained that with this, there will be clear rules for organizations to make decisions, since subcontracting will only be allowed to be used in specialized services or works that do not fall within the corporate purpose of the contracting party or within its main economic activity, now it is clear.
