Revised Vacation Amendment is Toothless Before Employers 

Mexico’s Labor Commission of the Chamber of Deputies voted to blunt the Senate-approved vacation days amendment to the Federal Labor Law, forcing laborers to depend on their employers to be afforded their twelve vacation days in complete succession. This power dynamic leaves talent vulnerable and forces it to seek legal remedy, a lengthy and costly process.

As companies push back on added vacation days, Mariel Sada, Head of Partnerships, Palanca, suggests that companies stand to leverage key benefits including improving employee experience, wellness and productivity. Undercutting this initiative has the potential to continue engendering dissatisfaction, burnout and turnover, “a critically dangerous outcome for companies.”
