The legal bodies that govern the Social Security system determine that the set of benefits and services included in the laws and regulations of the Honduran Social Security Institute (IHSS by its Spanish acronym) must be implemented gradually and progressively by determining the economic, legal and social conditions, as well as the efficiency of the service in each type of benefit.

Because of the economic and health crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, and in compliance with Agreement No. STSS-390-2015, the different authorities representing the Employer, Worker and Government sectors established the " Gradualness of Employer and Worker Contributions", in order to comply with the provisions of the Social Security Framework Law. To this effect, all employers must make deductions for worker-employer contributions from January 2021, according to current contribution rates and ceilings. See data here.

The gradualness of the contributions (rates and ceilings) of the Textile Sector was determined according to the provisions of the tripartite agreement No. STSS-013-2017, between the representative authorities of the labor, government and the tripartite commission of the Textile Industry. See data here.
