Mexico Overhauls Labor Laws With Shorter Workweek and After-Hours Ban
Mexico has enacted a significant overhaul of its labor laws, amending its constitution to gradually reduce the maximum workweek from 48 to 40 hours by 2030. This reform also grants 13.5 million workers the legal right to disconnect from work-related communications after their shift ends, ensuring no reduction in pay accompanies these changes. These measures align Mexico with other nations embracing legally enshrined work-life boundaries, aiming to reduce fatigue, improve safety, and enhance overall well-being for its workforce.
