7 Things You Must Know About Mexico’s Labor Law and Digital Employee Files

The digital era has transformed HR management across the globe—including in Mexico. Today, companies can legally manage employee records digitally, as long as they meet key compliance requirements established by the Ley Federal del Trabajo (Federal Labor Law).

If your U.S.-based company operates in Mexico, here are 7 essential facts about digital employee files—and how platforms like Sora.mx help you remain fully compliant and audit-ready.

1. ✅ Digital Files Are Legal in Mexico
   The Federal Labor Law now accepts digital employee records as long as authenticity and integrity are guaranteed. This means physical filing cabinets are no longer mandatory, and HR teams can manage everything electronically.
   
   
2. 🔐 Security and Confidentiality Are Required
   For digital files to be legally valid, they must be protected against unauthorized access or tampering. This includes encryption, access controls, and traceability.
   Sora.mx offers the only platform in Mexico that secures documents with biometric validation and encrypted signature processes, ensuring legal protection for both employer and employee.
   
   
3. ✍️ Advanced Electronic Signatures Are Key
   An advanced e-signature isn’t just a convenience—it’s a legal requirement. To comply with Mexican law, digital labor documents must use cryptographically secure, verifiable signatures, ideally backed by biometric proof.
   Sora delivers this by combining cryptography, facial biometrics, and audit trails, fully aligned with labor legislation.
   
   
4. 💰 Cost Savings and Operational Efficiency
   Going digital cuts down on paper, printing, and physical storage. More importantly, it saves HR teams time on document access, delivery, and compliance checks—boosting productivity while staying compliant.
   No more file cabinets. No more manual follow-ups.
   
   
5. 🌍 Accessibility from Anywhere
   Digital files mean your HR team can access employee data anytime, anywhere—as long as they have secure access. Perfect for companies with multiple offices or remote teams.
