ZUS deferred payments in the anti-crisis shields? For WUP and MRPiPS this is irrelevant

Issues with reconciling funds arise when the deadline for paying Social Insurance (ZUS) contributions is deferred for the months when support is received. This applies not only to support obtained under Article 15g of the COVID-19 act (for employees affected by economic downtime or reduced working hours) but also to support granted under Article 15gg (for employees not affected by downtime, or reduced working hours). Neither the agreements made with the Regional Labour Office (WUP) nor the COVID-19 act specify deadlines for spending the funds, only the deadline for companies to submit their settlements along with the required documents.
