Types of leave in Peru
In Peru, employees are entitled to 30 days of paid vacation annually. A minimum of 15 days is mandatory, and the remaining 15 can be converted into a monetary payout. The government allows advanced vacation days based on work duration. While the original policy required taking the full 30 days consecutively, employees can now request to split the leave. The initial 15 days, which include weekends and holidays, must be taken consecutively, while the second block of 15 days can be divided with a minimum of 1 day, determined through a written agreement or employer decision if needed.
