**Those individuals working remotely at least 40% of the week will be subject to specific rules related to their rights and obligations in connection with this employment modality.**
On June 8, 2023, was published in the Official Federal Gazette the Official Mexican Standard **NOM-037-STPS-2023**. **Remote work – Occupational health and safety conditions (NOM-037)** which sets out the occupational health and safety conditions for work performed under remote working arrangements. This Standard will come into force on December 8, 2023.
**NOM-037** is aimed at determining the occupational health and safety conditions applicable to workers who are effectively under remote working arrangements (meaning those individuals providing at least 40% of their services outside the employer’s workplace), and is supplemented with a few other standards, mainly with **NOM-030-STPS-200.“Preventive occupational health and safety services - Functions and activities**” and the Federal Labor Law.
The **NOM-037** sets out employers’ and employees obligations in relation to remote working arrangements, which are designed to protect health and rest periods, prevent accidents and illnesses, and promote a safe and healthy environment. It also seeks for them to be implemented with a gender perspective.
In [**this document**](https://www.garrigues.com/sites/default/files/noticias/files/new_official_mexican_standard_for_remote_work.pdf) we summarize the key aspects in **NOM-037**.
