CTS Deposits Due May 15 in Peru, With Full Withdrawals Allowed Until 2026

Public entities must fund new CAS bonuses from existing budgets.

Overview

  • Employers must deposit the CTS for the November 2025–April 2026 period by May 15, 2026 into accounts chosen by workers at financial institutions authorized by the SBS.
  • Workers can freely withdraw 100% of their CTS until December 31, 2026, and this temporary rule does not remove the employer’s duty to make the deposit on time.
  • Eligible private‑sector employees who were on the payroll on April 30 and worked at least four hours a day receive a proportional amount based on April pay, the family allowance if applicable, and one‑sixth of the December 2025 bonus.
  • Failing to deposit the CTS in full and on time is a serious offense that can bring fines of about S/2,475–S/24,750 for small firms and S/8,635–S/143,660 for non‑MYPE companies, and employers must give workers a written settlement of the calculation by the deadline.
  • Seven entities say they will pay the July 2026 gratification to CAS staff, including the Energy and Mines, Culture, Foreign Affairs, and Housing ministries, Sunedu, the National Superintendency of Migration, and the National University of Huancavelica, after the MEF said there will be no extra funds.
