The duty to investigate is now law. Chile’s Karin Law · Mexico’s LFT reform & ILO C190 · Colombia’s Law 2365

Home / Coverage

Four jurisdictions.
One standard.

Laws change from country to country; the standard of a serious investigation does not. IEC operates under each jurisdiction’s framework with one methodology and bilingual output.

MX

Mexico

Mexico’s workplace-violence reform aligns the LFT with ILO Convention 190 and expressly incorporates mobbing, cyber-harassment and discrimination. NOM-035 requires identifying and preventing psychosocial risks; Article 132 mandates prevention protocols; training must be certificate-backed to hold up in court. IEC runs the full cycle under Mexican labor law, and prepares nearshoring companies for the dual standard their headquarters expect.

  • Framework: reformed LFT · ILO C190 · NOM-035 · RFSST
  • IEC focus: Art. 132 protocols, dual MX/corporate-standard investigations, certifiable training
CL

Chile

The Karin Law (21,643) requires every employer (no exemption by size) to maintain a prevention protocol and investigate harassment and violence complaints under strict deadlines and a regulated procedure, supervised by the Labor Directorate. It is the region’s clearest mandatory demand, and where most case files fail, on missed deadlines, questionable impartiality or insufficient documentation.

  • Framework: Law 21,643 · Labor Code · DT rulings
  • IEC focus: investigations within statutory deadlines, case files that survive DT review, compliant protocols
CO

Colombia

Law 2365 of 2024 establishes specific procedures for preventing, handling and investigating workplace sexual harassment, with confidentiality, non-revictimization and anti-retaliation standards, building on Law 1010 on workplace harassment. Coexistence committees rarely have real investigative capacity; IEC provides it without displacing their legal role.

  • Framework: Law 2365/2024 · Law 1010/2006 · constitutional case law
  • IEC focus: technical investigation supporting committees, compliant protocols, reporter protection
PE

Peru

Law 27942 and its regulations require employers to investigate sexual harassment under defined deadlines, with victim-protection measures and notice to the Ministry of Labor. Missing deadlines and formalities is the most frequent failure, and the most expensive one under SUNAFIL inspection.

  • Framework: Law 27942 · S.D. 014-2019-MIMP · SUNAFIL enforcement
  • IEC focus: on-deadline investigations, documented protection measures, inspection-ready case files
