Only 5% of the members of the Tijuana Human Resources Industry Association (ARHITAC) have implemented a pilot program to reduce the work week to 40 hours, explained President Diana Marisela Reyes, who clarified that it will be gradual and the procedure is still unclear.
She noted that, although legislation has not yet been approved by Congress, the federal government has already issued a statement in favor of reducing the work week, and in that message, the business sector's request that it be a gradual process was addressed.
She added that of the 300 companies affiliated with ARHITAC, only 15 have initiated a pilot plan to implement the 40-hour work week, pending a clear legal definition and an implementation timeline for how it will be implemented moving forward.
