In order to guarantee its full development, it will be necessary to implement actions that will allow the opening ceremony and all sports activities to be carried out successfully.

For this reason, the deputies of the Legislative Assembly endorsed, with 62 votes, a series of modifications to the work schedules of the employees of the public administration of the Metropolitan Area of San Salvador (AMSS).

The first modification will be on june 23, date of the inauguration of the sporting events.

Employees of public and municipal sector institutions, the Public Ministry, the Supreme Court of Justice, the Legislative Assembly and official autonomous institutions of the metropolitan Area of San Salvador will end their workday at 2:00 in the afternoon.

On july 6, the workers of the referred institutions, always from the AMSS, will perform their work in the modality of telework, that is to say, from their homes.

On that day, the personnel of the public and private universities of the capital will enjoy paid leave. On july 7, there will be paid leave for all public and private sector workers nationwide.

In the case of the Ministry of Finance, the attendance of employees to comply with tax obligations will be at the discretion of its head.

This measure is intended to avoid inconveniences that could be generated by the simultaneous transfer of athletes who will participate in the different disciplines, as well as salvadoran families who will attend the events as spectators.
