Article 743 Federal Labor Law

The first personal notification shall be made in accordance with the following rules:

I.The bailiff shall make sure that the person who must be notified lives, works or has his domicile in the house or premises designated in the records for making the notification;

II.If the interested party or his representative is present, the bailiff shall notify the resolution, delivering a copy thereof; if it concerns a legal person, the bailiff shall make sure that the person with whom he conducts the proceeding is the representative or legal agent thereof;

III.If the interested party or his representative is not present, the notification shall be made to any person of legal age who is in the house or premises; the bailiff shall enter the name of the person with whom he conducts the proceeding and shall specify whether the person lives in the domicile and the relationship that this person has with the person who must be notified and, as the case may be, his job position;

IV.Repealed.

V.If in the house or premises designated for making the notification the interested party, his representative or the person with whom the proceeding is conducted refuses to receive the notification, it shall be made by means of a written notice affixed to the door thereof, attaching a copy of the resolution, and entering in his note the evidence that the person who must be notified undoubtedly lives, works or has his domicile in the house or premises designated in the records for making the notification, and

VI.In the case of article 712 of this Law, the bailiff shall appear accompanied by the employee and shall make sure that the premises designated in the records is the one in which the services are or were provided.

In all the cases referred to in this article, the bailiff shall enter a note in the records, clearly indicating the evidence on which he relies, entering the external characteristics of the house, property, premises, or physical space in which the notification proceeding is carried out, and the means by which he makes sure that it is the domicile sought. In the event that the person sought is not found, he shall enter the name and surnames of the person who receives the notification slip and the relationship that he has with the person to be notified or, as the case may be, the job position he holds; if he refuses to give his name or indicate the relationship he has with the person sought, he shall indicate his physical description. In any case, the evidence must show that the domicile corresponds to the one designated for making the notification and that the person sought lives, works or has his domicile in the house or premises in which he appears. The bailiff may annex photographs or any other physical or electronic document to strengthen the evidentiary elements of the record or note that he draws up for that purpose.

The Courts and the Conciliation Centers shall establish a voluntary registry system so that companies, employers or natural person employers have an electronic mailbox to which said authorities must communicate the existence of any proceeding whose summons could not be carried out. In no case shall the notice made substitute the procedural notifications; however, such circumstance must appear in the bailiff's note. Likewise, they shall carry out the pertinent collaboration agreements with public bodies, in order to facilitate the location of the domicile of the parties.

In the case of the first notification to the employee in the pre-judicial instance, the provisions of article 684 C of this Law shall apply.
