NOM-037 Teleworking: AI-Powered Labor Compliance Guide

Remote work has ceased to be an emergency measure to become a permanent operational modality in thousands of Mexican companies. However, the publication and entry into force of NOM-037-STPS-2023 (Telework-Safety and health conditions at work) imposed very specific regulatory burdens on employers who have employees working more than 40% of their time outside the traditional workplace.

The documentary requirements of NOM-037

Complying with NOM-037 is not limited to providing a laptop and support for internet. The standard requires that the company integrate into the worker's file a series of verifiable inputs for STPS inspections:

• Telework Addendum: Modification to the individual contract where the modality, the inputs delivered, and the schedules are agreed upon.

• Verification Lists (Safety Checklists): Validation of lighting, ventilation, and ergonomics conditions in the remote workplace.

• Acknowledgment of Telework and Reconnection Policies: Signed evidence that the employee is aware of their rights and obligations.

Automatic Audit and Cryptographic Signature

Managing the signing and updating of verification lists for remote staff can become a logistical nightmare. Sora simplifies this process through its AI agents:

1. Corporate DNA Detection: The system identifies which employees are under the Telework scheme.

2. Signature Collection Flow: Autonomously sends the addenda and verification lists for completion and signing.

3. Cryptographic Signature with Facial Biometrics: The remote worker signs the documents with facial proof of life and verification before RENAPO, ensuring presumption of legal attribution regardless of where they are in the country.

Keeping telework properly documented in the cloud protects the company from heavy STPS fines and provides a transparent labor compliance structure for both the organization and the employee.
