On April 5, 2024, an amendment to the Federal Labor Law (LFT for its acronym in Spanish) became effective, which confirms and establishes fines applicable to employers who fail to comply with the obligations set forth in various sections of Article 132. This amendment is outlined in the Section III of Article 994 of the same Law.
The affected sections
The Article 994 of the LFT adds to the already established obligations of employers towards workers the section XXVI Bis.
This section refers to the obligation of company affiliation with the Institute for the National Fund for Employee Consumption (INFONACOT for its acronym in Spanish).
The fines
Prior to the amendment, no specific fine was imposed for failure to affiliate the company with INFONACOT. However, the amendment now includes the fines for non-compliance with the aforementioned sections ranging from 50 to 1500 UMAs ($5,428.50 to $162,855.00 MXN).
What’s next?
Verify that your company complies with the Employer Obligations detailed in Article 132 of the LFT, specifically regarding INFONACOT, and if not, implement appropriate measures.
