A recent video by "Abogado del Trabajo" (Labor Lawyer) sheds light on a crucial aspect of Mexican labor law: the conditions under which an employee can be justifiably dismissed for poor performance. The legal expert, known for his insights into the Federal Labor Law, addressed the common question: "Can a lazy worker be fired?" According to the lawyer, Article 134 of the Federal Labor Law mandates that employees must perform their work with appropriate diligence, intensity, and care, at the agreed-upon time, place, and manner. He emphasized that if a worker fails to meet these obligations and does not fulfill their commitments, they could face justified dismissal. The video specifically references Section XV of Article 47 of the law, which outlines the grounds for termination of employment without employer responsibility. This information aims to empower both employers and employees by clarifying the legal framework surrounding workplace performance and dismissal in Mexico.
