Option #1: Are They Similar?
Employment and labor laws vary from country to country. Foreign labor laws generally provide much more protection for workers than labor laws in the United States. While the Fair Labor Standards Act in the U.S. establishes a minimum wage and overtime pay for hourly workers, it doesn’t limit the number of hours a company can require an employee to work. In Mexico, however, the Constitution establishes a maximum of eight hours for shift workers, a maximum of seven hours for the night shift, and a maximum of nine hours of overtime per week. For every six days of work, Mexico’s workers must have one day off.
