Hello,


In a contract from Venezuela for the supply of services the contract states that amounts of money owed must be paid unless they are not recoverable because they constitute a "fondo de garantía laboral".

I am not sure exactly what this is. I have found several references on the internet and am thinking that it might be a "wage guarantee fund", but then I am not sure if it is not an "employment guarantee fund" or some other type of fund.

Is anybody an expert on the subject?


Thank you!
