Easily manage employment in Peru

Peruvian labour law stipulates that employees can only be terminated when a just cause is provided by the employer. Otherwise, employees who’re let go without any justification are entitled to a severance package of up to 12 months’ pay.

Employers are required to provide from six to 30 days’ notice so employees can tender a defence in case they’re dismissed unfairly. Employees who’re let go on a justified basis are not entitled to any prior notice.

Employees are only entitled to severance payments when a termination decision is due to redundancy. Workers who’re dismissed without just cause are entitled to a month’s pay for every year served with an employer, capped at 12 months’ wages.
