Navigating Labor Inspections In Mexico: Key Information To Consider

Mexico's Secretariat of Labor and Social Welfare (Secretaría del Trabajo y Previsión Social (STPS)) is responsible for verifying if employers comply with the obligations established in the Federal Labor Law. To do so, the authorities (either local or federal) conduct labor and employment inspections, which involve visiting the employer's premises to directly assess compliance with the law. Employers that follow certain procedures will be well-positioned to manage these inspections and avoid any sanctions.
