The law requires recording each person's start and end time; it does not require a wall-mounted time clock. ## How work happens at a flower shop A flower shop has florists, salespeople and delivery drivers, with very marked peaks on February 14, May 10 and in November. That creates three challenges for measuring working time: - Three dates concentrate the overtime of the whole year. - Delivery is a central part of the work. - Temporary help is hired. ## What the law requires of flower shops Since the 2026 reform, the Federal Labor Law requires recording electronically the start and end time of each worker's workday (article 132, section XXXIV). Failing to do so is fined 250 to 5,000 UMA. The STPS will define who it applies to and what exceptions there will be. The details are in [the reform guide](https://sicheca.com/en/reforma-laboral-2027). **Sundays.** Someone who works on a Sunday is entitled to a premium of at least 25% of one day's wage. The record tells you which Sundays each person worked. **Work peaks.** Overtime has a weekly cap: 9 hours at double time in 2027, with a maximum of 4 per day on no more than 4 days, and never more than 12 total hours in a day. **Hourly or temporary staff.** They have the same working-hour limits and must also be recorded. **Work outside the premises.** The time a person is at the company's disposal is working time, even if they are not at your facilities. ## How to record working time at a flower shop 1. Register the location, your team and their shifts. 2. Those who work on site scan the QR code. 3. Those who work offsite clock in from their phone, with the location confirmed at that moment. 4. They all appear in the same report, with the place or mode of each record. **Example.** On May 10 people work from the early morning. The record shows who has already reached 12 hours in the day. ## Calculate your overtime ## How to do the math by hand Take a salary of $400 per day on a day shift. The ordinary hour is worth 400 ÷ 8 = $50. In 2027, with 11 overtime hours in the week, the first 9 are paid at double time (9 × $100 = $900) and the remaining 2 at triple time (2 × $150 = $300). Total: $1,200. ## Common mistakes at a flower shop - Keeping attendance from memory or in a notebook. - Recording the clock-in and forgetting the clock-out. - Not identifying which Sundays each person worked. - Covering peaks only with overtime, until exceeding the weekly cap. - Not recording temporary staff because they only come in for one day. - Asking staff who work offsite to stop by the office just to clock in. ## What to check every day and every week **Every day.** - Who did not record their clock-in or clock-out. - Records made in unexpected places. - Departures later than planned. **Every week.** - Each person's overtime against the weekly cap. - Sundays worked, for the Sunday premium. - Days when someone came close to 12 hours. - Rest days that were actually taken. ## How much an overtime hour costs: example in pesos Suppose a daily wage of $350 on a day shift. The ordinary hourly rate is $43.75. One overtime hour at double time costs $87.50 and one at triple time, $131.25. If a person works 9 overtime hours in a week in 2027, that is $787.50 extra. It is an example to show the calculation, not a reference wage for the sector. ## What changes every year, from 2026 to 2030 | Year | Maximum working hours | Double-time overtime | Triple-time overtime | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 2026 | 48 h | 9 h | 4 h | | 2027 | 46 h | 9 h | 4 h | | 2028 | 44 h | 10 h | 4 h | | 2029 | 42 h | 11 h | 4 h | | 2030 | 40 h | 12 h | 4 h | Decree published in the Official Gazette of the Federation on May 1, 2026, second and fourth transitory provisions, and article 68 of the LFT. Each change applies from January 1. ## Related terms **[Mixed shift: what it is and how long it lasts](https://sicheca.com/en/blog/jornada-mixta).** A mixed shift combines day and night hours, as long as the night hours are less than three and a half. **[What is RESICO](https://sicheca.com/en/blog/que-es-resico).** RESICO is the Simplified Trust Regime (Régimen Simplificado de Confianza), a tax regime with reduced income tax rates for individuals and companies with income below certain limits. **[Sunday premium: what it is and how it is calculated](https://sicheca.com/en/blog/prima-dominical).** The Sunday premium is an additional payment of at least 25% on the salary of an ordinary day for anyone who works on Sunday. ## Frequently asked questions ### Does a flower shop need to buy a time clock? No. The law requires an electronic record of working time, not a device. An app on a phone complies. ### What options are there for recording working time? An app on each person's phone, a shared tablet or a clock connected to a system. All three comply if they generate an electronic record per person, with a start and an end time. ### How do I know how much Sunday premium to pay? With the record you know which Sundays each person worked; the premium is at least 25% of one day's wage. ### Can I ask for more overtime in peak season? The weekly cap is not extended for the season. It helps to plan relief staff. ### Where do I find the official text? In the Official Gazette of the Federation of May 1, 2026 and in the current version of the Federal Labor Law published by the Chamber of Deputies. ## Legal basis and sources - Electronic working-time record: article 132, section XXXIV, of the LFT and fifth transitory provision of the decree. - Overtime: articles 66 and 68 of the LFT and fourth transitory provision of the decree. - Working hours: articles 58 to 64 of the LFT and second transitory provision of the decree. - [Decree amending the Federal Labor Law on the reduction of the working week](https://sidof.segob.gob.mx/notas/docFuente/5786537).
