Since 2019, Mexico’s Congress has been working on an amendment to the legal framework applicable to teleworking and remote working. On 8 December 2020, the legislative chamber discussed and approved the draft of an amendment to article 311 of the Federal Labor Law (FLL) and the addition of Chapter XII BIS. These new provisions became mandatory on 12 January 2021 during the labour emergency declared due to the covid-19 pandemic, a time in which most, if not all the companies had established home office programs to prevent contagion.
