Mexico to implement 40-hour workweek by 2030

Mexico’s Chamber of Deputies has passed a bill to gradually reduce the standard workweek from 48 to 40 hours, with strong support from lawmakers. The reform, which will take effect next year and reduce hours by two each year until 2030, allows employers to increase overtime hours. Critics express concerns over the bill’s limitations, including unchanged rest day requirements. The bill must still receive approval from two-thirds of the state legislatures to become law.
