BackI. Legal Framework
The Federal Labor Law (“FLL”), expressly regulate sanitary contingencies declared by competent health authority. Since FLL does not define who are those competent authorities, we must refer to the General Health Law (“GHL”), same which establishes the following:
I. President;
II. General Health Council;
III. Ministry of Health, and
IV. State Governments.
Since, as of this day, neither the Ministry of Health nor the President have declared any health contingency related to COVID-19 or general suspension of work, these provisions of the FLL are not yet applicable.
