On December 8, 2023, the new Official Mexican Standard on occupational health and safety conditions for remote work will come into force
Those individuals working remotely at least 40% of the week will be subject to specific rules related to their rights and obligations in connection with this employment modality.
On June 8, 2023, was published in the Official Federal Gazette the Official Mexican Standard NOM-037-STPS-2023. Remote work – Occupational health and safety conditions (NOM-037) which sets out the occupational health and safety conditions for work performed under remote working arrangements. This Standard will come into force on December 8, 2023.
NOM-037 is aimed at determining the occupational health and safety conditions applicable to workers who are effectively under remote working arrangements (meaning those individuals providing at least 40% of their services outside the employer’s workplace), and is supplemented with a few other standards, mainly with NOM-030-STPS-200.“Preventive occupational health and safety services - Functions and activities” and the Federal Labor Law.
The NOM-037 sets out employers’ and employees obligations in relation to remote working arrangements, which are designed to protect health and rest periods, prevent accidents and illnesses, and promote a safe and healthy environment. It also seeks for them to be implemented with a gender perspective.
In this document we summarize the key aspects in NOM-037.
