I had a business for 22 years in Mexico. You can hire people for up to 3 months on a probationary basis without incurring the Coniliations and Arbitraje problems. This is the way to hire because if they don't work out, you don't have to adopt them which is just what having employees is like. It is way better to keep relations with employees to a minimum. Don't make them your friends. Don't get to know them too well. Don't let them learn your weaknesses. But be fair and negotiate when you are unhappy with them or vice versa, because every time Conciliations and Arbitraje gets triggered, its a long and stressful process for you. And you never know what these Arbitrators will do. If you have a restaurant then you have to worry about theft. But you can't fire them for stealing even if you catch them on a video tape. And every year they work for you they build up employee liability for you. This means that your business is almost impossible to sell when the time comes, because nobody wants your employee liability. The buyers figure, if I really want that business, I will just open the same business across the street, and start fresh with my own gang. If you can't move family members in to watch things when you are not there, then I would get out of the Restaurant Business. Its too hard anyway, and when you throw C and A into the mix and you are an typical American lineal thinker, (Right - Wrong- Black - White - Weak - Strong), then you may not be cut out for business in Mexico. You're the one that has to adapt, and your goal should always be to make money, not to go against the system.
