What Is a Digital Platform Services Contract Mexico?

A Digital Platform Services Contract Mexico (Contrato de Prestación de Servicios en Plataforma Digital) is a specialised labour agreement that governs the legal relationship between a digital intermediation platform (plataforma digital de intermediación) and the individual workers — called trabajadores en plataformas digitales — who provide services to end clients through the platform, including ride-hailing drivers, food delivery couriers, household task workers, and freelance professionals matched through digital marketplace applications.

The Decreto por el que se adicionan diversas disposiciones a la Ley Federal del Trabajo, published in the Diario Oficial de la Federación on 23 April 2021, introduced Articles 330-A through 330-K into the Ley Federal del Trabajo (LFT) to create a sui generis labour category for platform workers — a status distinct from both dependent empleados (employees under a traditional contrato de trabajo) and independent prestadores de servicios (independent contractors). This reform responded to rapid growth of companies such as Uber, DiDi, Rappi, and Amazon Flex in the Mexican market and the resulting legal vacuum regarding worker rights and social security obligations.

Article 330-B LFT defines the digital platform worker relationship: a worker who provides personal services to end users of a digital application, receives economic compensation through the platform, and accepts service requests through a technological device under the platform's coordination. The relationship does not require exclusivity — workers may simultaneously register on multiple platforms. Article 330-C LFT establishes the presumption of an employment relationship (presunción de relación laboral) when the worker provides services continuously and under the platform's operational guidelines, subject to rebuttal by the platform demonstrating genuine independence.

For social security purposes, Article 330-H LFT mandates that platforms register platform workers with the Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social (IMSS) and pay employer-side IMSS quotas (cuotas patronales) under the Ley del Seguro Social, covering medical insurance (seguro de enfermedades y maternidad), disability and life insurance (seguro de invalidez y vida), and workplace accident insurance (seguro de riesgos de trabajo). This obligation was a major change from pre-reform practice, where platforms argued workers were independent contractors with no IMSS entitlement.

The reform also introduced minimum earnings protections for digital platform workers under Article 330-D LFT — platforms must guarantee that workers receive at least the equivalent of the minimum wage (salario mínimo) for each hour of active service delivery, excluding dead time (tiempo inactivo) spent waiting for requests. Platforms must provide workers with transparent real-time information about earnings per trip or task, applicable commission rates, and the algorithm used to assign service requests under Article 330-E LFT.

The Secretaría del Trabajo y Previsión Social (STPS) issued binding guidelines (lineamientos) in 2022 on the implementation of Articles 330-A through 330-K LFT, clarifying the calculation methodology for minimum hourly earnings, the record-keeping obligations of platforms, and the process for workers to assert their IMSS registration rights. Non-compliant platforms face STPS administrative sanctions under LFT Article 992 and potential criminal liability for IMSS evasion under Ley del Seguro Social Article 307. The Centro Federal de Conciliación y Registro Laboral (CFCRL), created by the 2019 labour reform, handles mandatory pre-litigation conciliation for platform worker disputes before cases proceed to the Tribunales Laborales federales.

When Do You Need a Digital Platform Services Contract Mexico?

A Digital Platform Services Contract Mexico is needed whenever a digital intermediation platform onboards individual service providers who will deliver services to end users through the platform's technological infrastructure, and whenever a worker begins providing services through a digital platform under the terms of LFT Articles 330-A through 330-K.

The contract is required when ride-hailing platforms (plataformas de movilidad) such as Uber, DiDi, or Cabify activate a new driver — the contract must comply with LFT Article 330-B requirements, including the platform's obligation to disclose the commission rate, the payment calculation methodology, the platform's cancellation and deactivation policies, and the IMSS registration procedure. Failure to provide a written contract that meets LFT Articles 330-A through 330-K requirements exposes the platform to STPS inspection findings and forced IMSS registration orders.

The agreement is needed when food delivery companies (plataformas de entrega a domicilio) such as Rappi, iFood, or Uber Eats activate couriers — the contract must address the worker's right to accept or reject service requests without penalty (Article 330-F LFT), the schedule flexibility provisions, and the minimum earnings guarantee per active hour of delivery service.

A Digital Platform Services Contract is required when a freelance marketplace (plataforma de trabajo independiente) connects skilled workers — developers, designers, translators, consultants — with business clients, particularly where the platform takes a commission from each transaction and sets quality standards or ratings that affect the worker's visibility and earning opportunities. Whether such arrangements trigger LFT Articles 330-A through 330-K depends on the degree of operational control the platform exercises — a legal assessment by an abogado laboralista is advisable before finalising the contract structure.

The contract is also needed when an established Mexican company launches its own internal platform for managing freelance or on-demand workers — gig economy models within corporate supply chains — to ensure compliance with LFT Articles 330-A through 330-K, IMSS registration obligations, and STPS minimum earnings requirements before operations begin.

The agreement is required when household services platforms (plataformas de servicios del hogar) activate cleaners, plumbers, electricians, or other skilled tradespeople — the STPS has confirmed that home services platform workers fall within the Article 330-B definition when the platform sets pricing, routes requests algorithmically, and enforces quality standards through a rating system. For these workers, the written contract documenting IMSS registration obligations and the minimum earnings guarantee under Article 330-D LFT is the first line of protection against labour misclassification claims. Workers and platforms operating in the metropolitan areas of Ciudad de México, Guadalajara, and Monterrey face particularly active STPS inspection activity in the platform economy sector.

What to Include in Your Digital Platform Services Contract Mexico

A Digital Platform Services Contract Mexico under LFT Articles 330-A through 330-K must address the following key elements to comply with the 2021 platform worker reform and protect both parties:

Identification of Parties and Platform Classification: Full legal name, RFC, and registered address of the platform operator (empresa plataforma). The contract must identify whether the platform is classified as an intermediation platform under Article 330-A LFT (matching service providers with end users) or a direct employment platform. This classification determines the applicable IMSS contribution base and the scope of LFT labour protections.

Nature of the Working Relationship: A clear statement of whether the relationship is governed by LFT Articles 330-A through 330-K (platform worker category), as distinct from a standard contrato individual de trabajo (Articles 20–33 LFT) or a purely civil/commercial prestación de servicios. The contract should reference Article 330-B LFT and state the platform's position on whether the relationship constitutes or does not constitute an employment relationship (relación de trabajo) for purposes of full LFT entitlements, noting the Article 330-C presumption.

Earnings and Commission Structure: A transparent description of how worker earnings are calculated — per-trip rate, per-hour rate, per-task rate, or a combination — and all deductions made by the platform including commission percentage (porcentaje de comisión), service fees (cargos por servicio), and any penalties. Article 330-D LFT requires that earnings calculations be accessible in real time through the platform's app. The contract must state the minimum guaranteed earnings per active service hour in compliance with LFT Article 330-D.

IMSS Registration and Social Security Obligations: An express commitment by the platform to register the worker with IMSS under the applicable regime for platform workers (Article 330-H LFT), specifying the contribution base (salario base de cotización) used for IMSS purposes, the employer's obligation to pay cuotas patronales, and the worker's right to receive IMSS insurance cards and access social security benefits. This element is critical given Mexico's history of platform companies avoiding IMSS obligations before the 2021 reform.

Schedule Flexibility and Service Request Acceptance: A statement of the worker's right to freely choose their working hours and geographic service area (Article 330-F LFT), and their right to accept or reject service requests without penalty (sin consecuencias negativas) — except for systematic cancellations that constitute bad faith. The platform's rating and ranking algorithm must not penalise workers for exercising their legal right to decline requests.

Deactivation and Termination Procedures: Under LFT Articles 330-I and 330-J, the platform may deactivate (dar de baja) a worker's account only for causes specified in the contract, following a hearing procedure (audiencia previa) that allows the worker to present their case before deactivation. Permanent deactivation for cause must comply with LFT Article 47 just-cause termination requirements if the relationship is classified as an employment relationship. The contract must specify the deactivation causes, the notification procedure, and the worker's right to appeal through STPS conciliation.

Information and Transparency Obligations: Article 330-E LFT requires platforms to provide workers with: real-time information on earnings per service; explanation of the algorithm used to assign requests; advance notice of changes to commission rates or platform policies (minimum 30 days' notice); and an annual summary of earnings for tax declaration purposes under ISR rules. The contract must reference these information rights.

Given the complexity of LFT Articles 330-A through 330-K, IMSS platform worker contribution rules, and evolving STPS administrative criteria, platforms and workers should consult an abogado laboralista experienced in economía de plataformas before finalising contractual terms.
