Coparmex Tijuana is confident that the proposal to reduce the work day from 48 to 40 hours will be implemented, but in a gradual manner, that is, that it will be implemented with the advantage of preparation for companies.
Its head, Roberto Vega Solís, acknowledged that the private sector has paid special attention to the initiatives to modify labor laws and regulations, including the one that would bring about the reduction of working hours.
To this, he added, he said he is confident that the legislators will end up configuring in general the transition to a 40-hour work day, reducing the hours progressively, like 2 hours per year.
He stressed the importance of economic units throughout the country having an extension and a deadline for implementation to carry out the internal actions that allow them to readjust their payrolls and shifts.
He stated that although such a measure will have strong implications for those organizations aligned with the maquila industry, it will not exempt other sectors of the secondary and tertiary economic sector.
Vega Solís added that another point to be addressed in the formulation of a new work schedule will be the specific incentives or deferrals according to the size of the company, since its application will not be similar in all businesses.
