They urge companies to continue paying workers’ fees

The general director of the Mexican Institute of Social Security (IMSS), Zoé Robledo, called on the employers, particularly large employers, to make the timely payment of their contributions, as this means ensuring that workers have social security and access to medical services at the institute, particularly during the COVID-19 health emergency.

During the press conference led by President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, the head of the IMSS recognized the small and micro-companies that have behaved in greater resistance and solidarity with their employees.

He said that unlike these, Large companies “are constantly calculating from quotas, which today can put the lives of their workers at risk.”

He noted that the attitude of some employers to want to “save” the IMSS fees means leaving workers without medical care in the context of an epidemic, and that is very serious.

“Today more than ever, you can’t see Social Security fees in an accounting, they are quotas that imply rights, and they are quotas that imply rights to health, and are rights to health that can mean life or death“He emphasized.

“We are making an effort, it is what corresponds to us, so that care is timely, so that our workers have everything they need, but yes we need that sense of solidarity to enter the conscience of entrepreneursZoé Robledo emphasized.

He also indicated that the workers must be vigilant to have the Validity of Rights to the IMSS, because this guarantees that even being at home, the employer continues to pay the fees to Social Security.

The general director of the IMSS commented that On the 12th of each month, the numbers of jobs registered with Social Security are released, and it was reported that by March of this year, 130,000 people lost their jobs.This implies that they will maintain access to the Institute’s medical and social security services for a period of eight more weeks, from the date of dismissal.

Another fact, he said, is that 216,000 workers who were already separated from their workplace, having no prior eight weeks of contributions, the Law establishes that they no longer have access to health services by Social Security, but will be provided medical assistance through other public institutions.
