Panama adopts a new standardized format for Internal Work Regulations
The Ministry of Labor and Labor Development (MITRADEL) of Panama has adopted the Standardized Format for Internal Work Regulations (FERIT) through Ministerial Resolution No. DM-012-2026. This format may be used by any employer with 10 or more employees to ensure, in a diligent and efficient manner, compliance with the requirements necessary for the implementation of Internal Work Regulations within their companies.
What Is the FERIT System and Why Did MITRADEL Introduce It?
This initiative seeks to standardize, streamline, and digitize the process of drafting future Internal Work Regulations, which must subsequently be submitted to the Ministry for approval.
