Current text · last reform published in the Official Gazette of the Federation (DOF) on 14 May 2026
The subcontracting of personnel is prohibited, this being understood as when a natural or legal person provides or places its own employees at the disposal of another for the benefit of the latter.
The employment agencies or intermediaries that intervene in the process of hiring personnel may participate in recruitment, selection, training and instruction, among others. These shall not be considered employers since this character is held by the one who benefits from the services.
