    Government Evaluates Allowing Perfect Labor Suspension for Companies Affected by El Niño

    The Peruvian government is assessing the possibility of implementing a perfect labor suspension for companies negatively impacted by the El Niño phenomenon. This measure, similar to one used during the COVID-19 pandemic, would temporarily halt wage payments without dissolving employment relationships. The Minister of Labor, Juan Sheput, has stated that the government is evaluating measures to alleviate the burden on companies, including the perfect suspension of work, as El Niño is expected to have exceptional qualities and be highly destructive. The government is also preparing regulations to compensate affected sectors, including micro and small businesses, in coordination with the Ministries of Production and Economy.
