Government Publishes Rule Phasing CAS Gratifications and CTS to Full Pay by 2030

The Economy Ministry says the staged schedule limits the immediate fiscal impact by requiring each public entity to fund the new payments from its own budget.

Overview

  • The Executive formalized Decreto Supremo N.° 142-2026-EF in late July, making the regulation to apply gratifications (July and December) and CTS to CAS workers official and enforceable.
  • The decree sets a five-step rollout that starts at 10% of a monthly salary in 2026, rises to 20% in 2027, 30% in 2028, 50% in 2029 and reaches 100% from fiscal year 2030.
  • Operational rules require gratifications to be calculated using pay on June 30 and November 30 and paid with July and December payrolls, while CTS is only payable when a CAS contract ends; 2026 gratifications cannot be below S/300.
  • The MEF directs each public institution to absorb implementation costs within its own budget, framing the phased approach as necessary to preserve public finances and avoid drawing on the national Treasury.
  • Worker groups led by the Frente Nacional de Trabajadores CAS rejected the gradual schedule and announced administrative and legal challenges, a dispute that could delay or reshape how the benefits reach more than 350,000 CAS employees.
