Verification

Verified in the official source on November 4, 2026Checked in the DOF: item 5.1 (up-to-date list of remote workers), 5.2 (written telework policy, with monitoring mechanisms that respect privacy and disconnection), 6.6 (employer's data protection policies) and Appendix 1 (informative). Effective 180 calendar days after publication (Dec 5, 2023). Fines come from the Federal Labor Law per secondary sources. It is not an AI rule; it is included because it calls for data protection rules in remote work, where AI and monitoring tools are common.
