Hiring Employees in Mexico

How does the Virtual Assistant hiring system work in Mexico?

Today, we will talk about several aspects of the different hiring models that exist in Mexico for Virtual Assistants that provide services to American companies or foreign employers. The boom of «word based» hiring has been on the rise especially among american employers who seek the services of a Virtual Assistant located in Mexico, because of the high professional-bilingual level and the low costs they represent.

But have you wondered about the risks involved in this contracting model?

What are the scope and legal limitations that derive from not having a legal entity to represent you in Mexico?

As an American business owner, based in the USA, can I sign an employment contract with my virtual assistant in Mexico?

Yes, but without any legal effect in mexico.

So, if you are:
1. A business owner located in the US,
2. Based in the U.S,
3. Do not have a work permit to work in Mexico, 
4. Not a Mexican Resident or Citizen
5. Does not have a fiscal address

Then the contract you sign with your virtual assistant will have NO VALIDITY before the Federal Labor Law in Mexico. 

In other words, the labor-employer relationship that is intended to be established in such contract will not exist even if your document stipulates otherwise. This is because you literally do not exist in Mexico either as a physical or moral person, therefore your virtual assistant is signing a paper with a «ghost».

Any contract or document you sign with your virtual assistant, under this scheme, will be based solely on the TRUST you both place in making a contractual arrangement, however, neither of you is legally protected in the event of a lawsuit or labor complaint for either party.

Can my virtual assistant sue me if I sign a contract under this scheme?

Not in Mexico. Since you do not exist in Mexico, there is no way to notify you of a claim or complaint since there is not even a mailing address where you can be reached inside the country, therefore a labor claim cannot be filed. However, they could do it but in the United States. With a good lawyer in international or labor law in the United States, a lawsuit could proceed against you, although one of the limitations would be the high costs that this would mean for your Virtual Assistant, since they would have to pay excessively expensive fees to transfer a lawsuit abroad.

In legal matters, what obligations does my Virtual Assistant have with or without an employment contract?

None. Since legally in Mexico you do not appear as their employer, you are a «ghost», there are no employer-employee obligations that your virtual assistant must legally comply with, for example:

  • Working hours
  • Workplace
  • To follow some work rules
  • To have confidentiality in the access to your information.
  • Safeguard assigned computer equipment or work tools.
  • Submit to Antidoping
  • Having a subordinate relationship
  • Early resignation

Conversely, you are not required to provide your virtual assistant with the following:

  • Vacations
  • Weekends
  • Paid overtime
  • Social Security
  • Occupational risk compensation
  • Computer equipment or work tools
  • Holidays
  • Uniform
  • Bonuses
  • Compensation of any kind

REMEMBER! As mentioned above, the verbal or written contract you enter between both parties will be based ONLY on the TRUST and professional ETHICS you both have. No one is legally bound to any of the above. 

Is there any other type of contract that can be used?

Yes, it is called Service Contract (in spanish Contrato de Prestación de Servicios Profesionales)  which is a document where the main conditions that will define the relationship between the parties are expressed and regulated. The parties involved are: the Provider or Contractor,  the one who performs the service, and the Client, the one who receives it. The provider or contractor can be either a company or a self-employed and independent professional.

This hiring scheme applies when the Client needs the services of a professional for a certain period of time, project, season, as someone external to your company. For example, if you as the owner of a company wants to hire an accountant only for the annual tax season.

This contracting is covered under Mexican Civil Law since the context is between private individuals. Therefore, you would not have any worker-employer obligations, nor is there any subordination on the part of the service provider. The document simply stipulates the scope of the activity to be performed and its fulfillment is under civil law.

I hired my Virtual Assistant, but I haven’t signed any contract. Is this illegal?

Yes. In Mexico working without a contract is illegal. This doesn’t  mean that it doesn’t  happen from time to time  which is a relatively frequent situation in Mexico. Even so, a person who works without a contract has the same rights as a person who does have a contract, but with more risks of non-compliance for both the employer and the employee.

If you were their legal employer, you would have to follow what the law says: According to the Federal Labor Law (LFT), the employer has a term of 15 days to execute the employment contract, from the incorporation of the worker to the organization. If this does not happen within the stipulated time, the authorities may impose infractions ranging from fine payments to the closing of the establishment.

But in the case that you are a «ghost» in Mexican territory, this does not apply, however it’s still illegal and there are still risks of non-compliance for both parties that at any moment, no one could protect you.

 

In addition, in the practice there are several virtual assistants that take advantage of this contractual gap to receive a regular salary without paying taxes, this, besides being illegal, is risky for the person who evades it, because if the The Tax Administration Service (SAT) finds that they have monthly income without paying taxes, they may be subject to fines and be requested to clarify their tax situation.

Up to this point, we have said that as long as you are a «ghost» in Mexico, your rights and obligations as an employer do not exist and neither do those of your employees, everything is based on words and mutual trust. However, it must be said, this practice has been on the rise and at first glance, on the employer’s side it could be simple and a cheap system, and on the employee’s side, a well paid job with no deductions of any kind, but with a totally illegal and risky background that is far from being a healthy and competitive labor relationship within the Mexican labor market.

After all this, which ones are my options to hire a Mexican Virtual Assistant?

Right, If you want to go straight on hiring a Virtual Assistant in Mexico, we definitely recommend you to sign a Service Contract-Contractor figure– to be 100% legal. Make sure the contract is made by a Mexican labor lawyer to cover both parties into the Mexican legal system. Keep in mind that this contract is temporary, and you would not have any worker-employer obligations, nor is there any subordination on the part of the service provider.

 Now, if you decide to have a Virtual Assistant playing under the labor rules -with subordination- then we recommend you to hire a third party, a staff outsourcing company that is legally constituted and that knows very well the labor culture in Mexico.
The functions of these companies are to hire the necessary staff, train them, take care of the formality and legality of the contracts, make payroll, tax payments, manage the rotation of staff, among many others.
The advantage of hiring a third party is that it will represent you as an employer in all aspects, the only thing you have to worry about is to choose your employee and have a correct training of your internal processes.

]]> How can I protect my information from any kind of risk, if I hire a Virtual Assistant in another country? https://launchlegalsolutions.com/it-network-security-for-law-firms Thu, 12 Jan 2023 17:00:30 +0000 https://launchlegalsolutions.com/?p=2855

IT- Network Security for Law Firms

How can I protect my information from any kind of risk, if I hire a virtual assistant in another country?

Nowadays, data protection has become an issue of concern for many companies due to the large number of hackers who have stolen information in recent years. In addition, the concern of giving access to abroad VA’s (virtual assistants), generates many doubts about how it should be handled properly.

Before hiring a VA  it’s highly recommended that you, as the owner of your Law Firm, allocate budget and put in place all the «standard» security measures to avoid any cyber risk regardless of whether or not you consider hiring a foreign Virtual Assistant, since the information- that is confidential  for you- lives inside your PC is on demand by any individual from the minute you use the Internet as a means of work.

What are the «standard» security measures recommended to avoid any cyber risk?

It is unavoidable to go a little bit into the IT-Network Security area since they are the experts that today have developed specific technology for data security, one of the most recognized companies in this area worldwide is CISCO, who has the most advanced protocols for data protection. Therefore, if you are looking for a very high level of data protection, you need to configure the following components in your office:

  • Switch
  • Router
  • FireWall
  • Internet Service

A network switch is an interconnection device used to connect all equipment on a network, including computers, consoles, printers and servers. Together with the cabling they form what is known as a local area network (LAN).

Thanks to a switch, all connected equipment can:

  • File sharing 
  • Printer sharing
  • Share the Internet connection.

 

The router is a device that allows interconnecting networks with different IP address prefixes. Its function is to establish the best route for each data packet to take to reach the network and the destination device. It is widely used to connect to the Internet since it connects the network of our home, office or any network to the network of our Internet provider. Most of the routers used for home and offices have other additional functions incorporated to the router, such as: wireless access point, which allows to create and connect to a Wifi network; modem, which converts analog signals to digital and vice versa; Switch, which connects several devices through cable, creating a local network. Also, some of them includes a Firewall which is a system designed to protect private networks from unauthorized and unverified access to an Internet connection.

Firewalls protect your computer, or a number of computers on a network, from malware-filled websites or vulnerable open network ports. They help stop would-be attackers before they can do any damage. Network firewalls can be found in businesses, homes, schools and intranets, which are private networks within an organization. In addition, they can be configured to prevent network users from accessing external websites. For example, office managers can set up controls over their employees’ browsing habits by blocking certain websites to avoid distractions.

This component is the most important of all as it is the first «wall» a hacker faces when trying to penetrate your network.

The Internet service you sign up for is also a factor to consider when it comes to protecting your data.

  • Shared Internet is the most common and is mainly used for services such as streaming music, movies, parental control and remote monitoring. However, a home network works through a shared connection that has a lower cost. However, this is not a recommended option for companies, because it presents unstable signals, with difficulty in maintaining download and upload traffic.
    Other negative points are the decrease in speed as the number of users increases and the difficulty of reaching the full contracted speed.
  • Dedicated Internet  is a connection specially developed for the business sector. The difference between this connection and traditional broadband is the quality of navigation. The dedicated Internet, regardless of the size, guarantees a more secure, stable and high scale access. Through this type of connection, the company is connected to a router port, which eliminates network traffic and allows better system performance.

In summary, this is what your network architecture should looks like:

REMEMBER! Before making any decision about the security of your networks, it is highly recommended to talk to an IT network specialist for a personalized study and to guide you in the best way. In addition, the brands and characteristics of each component also influence the degree of security, there are brands that are more secure than others and thus their cost.

So, what is the safest way to connect my virtual assistant?

Virtual Assistance means that a person who is physically outside the host network – anywhere in the world – can have access to your information to perform specific professional tasks according to their role, connected via Internet.
Therefore, the most secure way for an «external» person to connect to your host network is through a VPN and ideally that person should also have the «standard» protocol in place. However, in reality, most virtual assistants have a shared Internet service and will hardly be able to install the standard components at home. 

IT- Network Security for Law Firms

What is a VPN? A Virtual Private Network is a mechanism for creating a secure connection between a computing device and a computer network, or between two networks, using an insecure communication medium such as the public/shared Internet.

Without a VPN, the VA’s internet activity can be easily seen and intercepted by others. This includes their browsing history, downloaded files, internet banking details and passwords.
Or worse, hackers can trace the information back to their device through their internet protocol address (IP address). Their IP address reveals your physical location and can be used to track them in real life.

 

BUT when your VA connects to a VPN, their  Internet activity will be encrypted and their real IP address will be masked. No one can see who they are or what they are doing, not even ISPs (Internet Service Providers), governments or hackers.

If in addition to all this, you want to be doubly protected, you can also take advantage of a Cyber-insurance, as an additional but never as the only option to protect your information.

Cyber-insurance is a specialty insurance product intended to protect businesses from Internet-based risks. Coverage provided by a cyber-insurance policies may include first-party coverage against losses such as data destruction, extortion, theft, hacking, and denial of service attacks; liability coverage indemnifying companies for losses to others caused, for example, by errors and omissions, failure to safeguard data, or defamation; and other benefits including regular security-audit, post-incident public relations and investigative expenses, and criminal reward funds.

REMEMBER! Before making any decision about the security of your networks, it is highly recommended to talk to an IT network specialist for a personalized study and to guide you in the best way. This article is only for reference purposes  and does not constitute a specialized recommendation.

Marketing outsourcing for Law Firms

How can I get help on saving time and money?

With a busy day, law firms don’t have time to sell and advertise their services. However, as a law firm, you should not neglect marketing to ensure that your services are easily accessible to prospective clients. Outsourcing marketing can help you save money and time by effectively bringing in outside expertise to promote your firm effectively instead of relying on your own efforts. Law firms often fear that outsourcing will decrease their brand awareness and visibility. But with the right strategy, marketing as an outsourced firm can be an advantage rather than a weakness.

How does Marketing Outsourcing work?

If you’re not sure how outsourcing works, then you’ve come to the right place. Outsourcing is the act of hiring other firms or individuals to handle specific activities, tasks, or services that you don’t have time to do yourself. This could include marketing, sales, administrative tasks, and more. 

You could choose to hire an agency to handle your marketing, but it might be more cost-effective to outsource the work. You could also choose to oversee your marketing internally, but that might be time-intensive. In both cases, hiring an agency to handle your marketing is usually the best option. 

Legal Marketing Outsourcing

Outsourcing marketing is a great way to refresh your firm’s marketing strategy, and it can also help you take a step back and evaluate your current marketing efforts.

Having an outside perspective can help you identify areas where you’re falling short and focus your efforts on the areas that will have the most impact.

Law firm social media marketing outsourced​

The goal of outsourcing is to bring in outside expertise so you can focus more on your firm’s core competencies.

Law firms that have grown and established themselves often struggle to remain competitive. In many cases, a firm’s largest challenges come from within their own walls. There are many times when a firm will outsource some or all of their marketing to newer firms or even an agency that specializes in assisting with marketing.

Why outsource law firm tasks?

In our experience we have learned that there are 2 signals for law firms to choose outsourcing:

1. Difficulties in hiring and retaining staff in administrative areas. 

2. Looking for better results in specific activities such as Marketing. 

At the first signal we found that because of the current social situation in the country, law firms are spending more financial resources and time to recruit, train and retain their staff. Affecting their core activities to prepare solid cases that benefit their clients. 

Customers tell us that the personnel they hire are not committed to their work, considering leaving at any time for a better offer. In addition, small law firms or family law firms are afraid that the trained staff will leave to create their own law firm along with their clients. 

What kind of legal services are most amenable to outsourcing?

Attracting the right client profile for your law firm is the key to ensuring growth and adding brand value to your firm. 

For example, if your law firm specializes in solving immigration cases, you should optimize your marketing efforts to get to know that client profile in depth and attract them through content that solves their doubts, for example: 

How do I know what type of visa suits my situation? 

Instead of sharing generic content about all types of law firms, for all types of cases. This bad promotion practice is very common in law firms, causing them to waste their budget and time. 

Marketing outsourcing is one of the activities you should consider delegating to external specialists who master the use of digital and traditional media to optimize your budget and attract the right clients for your law firm. 

A marketing outsourcing team will help you to better structure your legal services offering, create a corporate image for your law firm and design an efficient promotion system for website, Google, social media, email marketing and public relations.

Another key area where external specialists can support you in improving your law firm’s customer experience is Customer Service. 

One of the challenges faced by law firms are the complicated and lengthy recruitment processes to include in their teams professionals who wish to make a career in their firm. 

In the area of client service, law firms have high levels of staff turnover and their internal control systems are not sufficient to achieve the desired level of service for their clients. 

According to Google Trends data in the first half of 2022, there was a rise in the trend of searches for customer service outsourcing companies, placing the following states in the top 5 of the list: 

  • New York
  • North Carolina
  • Texas
  • South Carolina
  • Virginia
