Overview
- PRI senator Paloma Sánchez Ramos filed a bill to add Article 5 Bis and modify Article 1000 of the Federal Labor Law to require every vacancy to display a salary range and to specify any variable pay with its calculation basis.
- Under the proposal, labor authorities could order immediate correction or removal of noncompliant postings and levy fines of 250 to 5,000 UMA, reported as up to 565,700 pesos.
- A separate initiative from senators Martha Lucía Micher, Geovanna Bañuelos and Luis Donaldo Colosio Riojas seeks to reform Article 83 to mandate salary transparency in job listings.
- With these filings, the current legislature now counts about five initiatives aimed at tightening recruitment transparency and salary visibility in vacancies.
- Sponsors argue the reforms would curb precarious work and deter fraudulent or criminal job ads, citing analysis that 56% of formal private-sector workers earn below a 12,500‑peso monthly benchmark.
