Doing Business in Mexico: Labor Inspections, Employer Compliance Obligations, and Legal Repercussions for 2026

As Mexican labor authorities intensify oversight and enforcement measures, understanding your compliance obligations and inspection procedures has never been more critical for employers operating in Mexico. This webinar will provide a comprehensive examination of the Labor Secretariat's (STPS - Secretaría del Trabajo y Previsión Social) inspection protocols and the statutory labor and employment obligations that employers must fulfill under Mexican law.

The session will address the scope and process of labor inspections conducted by the STPS, the specific compliance areas subject to review, and the documentation and protocols employers must maintain to demonstrate adherence to federal labor standards. Attendees will gain practical insight into the administrative procedures that follow inspections, potential violations, and the range of economic sanctions and administrative penalties that may result from findings of non-compliance. We will also explore proactive compliance strategies and best practices to help minimize risk and ensure your organization meets its legal obligations when doing business in Mexico.
