Overtime laws in Peru are complex and can depend on the specific circumstances and the employee. We are happy to discuss this in more detail for a specific context.
Employees in Peru are entitled to 30 calendar days of vacation per year. A minimum of 15 days must be taken and the other 15 can be cashed out. In addition to vacation leave, there are 12 public holidays.
Sick leave in Peru includes the first 20 days paid by the employer. After the 20th day of sick leave, the state, ESSALUD, pays.

We believe that remote employees should be able to access their local benefits, as well as high-standard international benefits, anywhere they are. Details about international or country specific benefit packages can be provided on request. Please contact us for further details.
Severance is not typically required in Peru, unless in case of redundancy. However, other payments may be required in certain specific circumstances. Please contact us with any questions.
Employers in Peru must provide a prior written notice by letter that communicates their intention to terminate the employee and description of the facts that justify the dismissal. In case of termination with cause, a minimum of 30 calendar days of notice are required. In the case of an employee resignation, 30 days’ notice is required.
Peru law protects employees from illegal termination of employment, and as there are a range of reasons an employee can be terminated, it’s important for those looking to employ in Peru to reach out to us directly with questions.
Laws around employees who have specific termination protections, or classes of employees who have protected characteristics relevant to discrimination, are highly complex and there can be a number of situation-specific variables. If you have questions in this area, please reach out to us directly to discuss.
