Article 276 Federal Labor Law

For the payment of compensation (indemnity) in the cases of occupational hazards, the following rules shall be observed:

I.If the hazard produces disability, the payment shall be made in accordance with the provisions of article 483;

II.The employer under whose authority the work was rendered shall be liable for work accidents; and

III.If it concerns occupational diseases, each employer that has used the services of the employee for at least 90 days in the three years prior to the date on which the degree of incapacity for work is determined shall contribute in the proportion in which it used the services.

The employee may exercise the action for payment of the compensation (indemnity) against any of the employers referred to in the preceding paragraph, but the defendant may call the others to trial or seek recovery against them.
