Derived from recent events worldwide, in the event that the
Mexican authorities issue a declaration of health contingency that
implies the suspension of labor activities of the companies in
Mexico, the employee’s obligation to provide their services
and the employer’s obligation to pay salary will be
suspended. The employer will have the obligation to pay its
employees only the minimum wage for each day that the suspension
lasts, not exceeding one month.
The provision of services for women during pregnancy or
lactation period and for employees under 18 years old is prohibited
for the time that the health contingency lasts.
Other Employers’ obligations regarding the coronavirus
are: (i) provide employees with the prophylactic medicine
determined by the competent authority when there is a danger of an
epidemic; and (ii) comply with the provisions determined by the
competent authority in the event of a health emergency.
