On 23 March the Guatemalan government announced the suspension of employers' social security contributions for three months as a measure to protect the economy from the quarantine caused by the coronavirus. The new provisions established the deferral of employer's IGSS contributions for March, April and May 2020, as well as those of Intecap and Irtra. However, the labor quota must continue to be deducted from the workers and transferred to the IGSS each month.
