 Indication that the preparation of the article is total or partial;
 Indication if the worker will receive all the material or parts thereof and conditions
in which the work will be carried out.

b) Scope and validity. The license to hire work at home will be valid exclusively,
within the province where the employer has an establishment of a nature equal to
the work for which the license is issued, and this will be valid for one year. Once
expired, the Ministry of Labor may grant the employer a period of 15 days of grace
to renew it.

c) License revocation. The Ministry of Labor may revoke this license in the following
cases:
 When it is verified that it has stopped complying with the provisions of the law or
of the regulation of application of the Code;
 When promoting clandestine work to avoid compliance with other legal provisions;
 When the business organization is changed or altered or somehow it becomes a new
firm.

II. Certified list of hired staff


Employers who hire work from home are required to submit to the Ministry of Labor
within 24 hours of hiring, a certified relationship of the contracted staff with the following
information:
 Indication of the date on which the contract began;
 The name, series and number of the Identity and Electoral Card, age, sex,
nationality, domicile and residence of the worker;
 Type of work and type of salary;
 If applicable, point to workers who belong to classes except those of national and
foreign computing, in accordance with Article 138 of the Labor Code and the reason
for the exception, as well as the changes that are opened in the staff or the contract
conditions.

III. Obligations
a) Obligation of the employer. The employer is obliged to confirm to each
homeworker an average task of 3 days per week, unless agreed between the parties,
formalized before an official of the Ministry of Labor. The worker who for 4
consecutive weeks will have tasks less than those indicated above, may terminate
his employment contract with responsibility for the employer;
b) Obligation of the worker. It is the obligation of every home worker to appear on
the first working day of each week.
IV. Suspension of employment contract
If the Ministry of Labor detects an infectious, contagious or communicable disease in a
residence where industrial work is carried out, it may declare the suspension of the effects
of work contracts at the domicile of those residing in that dwelling, unless they indicate
another place for the execution of them.
