REPSE Renewals 2024

REPSE Renewals 2024

We inform you that on February 21, 2024, the Ministry of Labor and Social Welfare (“STPS”) published in the Federal Official Gazette the Agreement amending the one setting forth the general provisions for the registration of individuals or entities that provide specialized services or carry out specialized works referred to in Article 15 of the Federal Labor Law (the “Agreement”).

As you may recall, in accordance with Article 15 of the Federal Labor Law, individuals or entities that provide subcontracting services must hold the registration known as REPSE (Registry of Providers of Specialized Services or Specialized Works), which must be renewed every three years. Considering that most persons obtained their REPSE during 2021, those who continue to provide specialized services or works are required to renew it this year, 2024. To this end, various modifications and clarifications were made in the Agreement, the following being the most notable: • The renewal process for individuals and entities registered in the REPSE public registry is included and defined. • For renewal, as with the registration application, the interested party must be current in its tax and social security obligations before the SAT, IMSS, and INFONAVIT; otherwise, the procedure cannot be carried out. • The information and documentation required by the platform must be provided again, and the services to be rendered or type of work to be performed must be precisely stated, which must be contemplated within the applicant’s current corporate purpose or, for individuals, their tax status certificate. • The STPS must rule on the renewal application within 20 business days following its receipt, as in the registration application process. If it does not rule, the applicant may require the STPS to issue the corresponding renewal within the following 3 business days. If no notice is issued, the renewal will be deemed effected. • The 3-year term of validity of the registration notices will be counted from the date on which they were entered in the Registry, regardless of whether any modification or update was subsequently made. Renewal Procedure: • For registration renewal, the platform (http://repse.stps.gob.mx) will enable a specific module, which will be called “Registration Renewal.” • Access to that module will only be possible during the period assigned by the STPS itself, in accordance with the validity of each registration notice. • In this regard, the following schedule is established to renew, in this year 2024, those registrations obtained in 2021: Year of Registration Month registration was granted Month of registration renewal 2021 June From March to May 2024 July From April to June 2024 August From May to July 2024 September From June to August 2024 October From July to September 2024 November From August to October 2024 December From September to November 2024 • The Agreement also establishes the schedule to renew those registrations obtained in 2022 and 2023. • If the renewal process is not carried out on the established dates, the registration will be canceled, since the platform itself will automatically disable the renewal module. In light of all the foregoing, it is of utmost importance to verify the validity of the registration notices, both for providers of specialized services or works and for the beneficiaries thereof. Likewise, both parties must ensure at all times compliance with each and every provision on labor subcontracting. Currently, the STPS is carrying out a significant number of inspections to verify that providers and beneficiaries are in compliance with the rules established on labor subcontracting; indeed, in most cases, we have observed that the STPS requests new requirements in this matter.
