Can You Risk Not Having A Medical Service In Your Company?
No, article 504 of the Federal Labour Law establishes the obligation to have a medical service if there are more than 300 employees. Failure to comply with this obligation may result in a fine ranging from 250 to 5,000 times the Unit of Measurement and Value (UMA), which is equivalent to 21,720 to 434,400 pesos (Art. 904, Section V LFT).
In addition to the fines, there are several operational risks in not having a medical service to respond to emergencies, a manager to direct actions and health or training campaigns, and to monitor the health of workers for proper follow-up.
There is also the risk of not having an adequate control of consultations, incapacities and occupational hazards, all to the detriment of the company’s productivity and good working environment.
In conclusion, the company medical service is a key element in ensuring the health, better performance, satisfaction, control and monitoring of employees. It is equally important to have a digital tool that improves and facilitates the provision of this service.
