Othón P. Blanco, Quintana Roo — The Secretariat of Labor and Social Welfare of Quintana Roo (STyPS) has announced that 18 companies in the state have failed to comply with the payment of profit-sharing benefits owed to their workers, prompting the initiation of a monitoring process that could result in sanctions.
Verónica Salinas Mozo, head of the STyPS, detailed that the companies have been given a two-month deadline to regularize their situation and cover the outstanding debt before fines established in the Federal Labor Law are applied.
"As we know, companies must comply with the distribution of profits. We have some companies that are behind, and a procedure is underway that can last up to two months; there are 18 procedures that we are monitoring," she stated.
Profit-sharing is a labor right that guarantees employees receive a percentage of the company's profits. Non-compliance can lead to economic and administrative sanctions, as well as intervention by labor authorities to guarantee payment.
The state agency urged the companies to attend to the conciliation procedure and fulfill the payment obligation in a timely and correct manner to avoid labor conflicts and legal proceedings that could affect their operations.
