Overview
- The government confirmed June 29, 2026 as a national holiday for Día de San Pedro y San Pablo and workers who do not work that day keep their usual pay.
- Employees who work on June 29 and do not receive a compensatory rest are entitled to a 100% surcharge on their daily wage, a result commonly reported as the "pago triple".
- If an employer grants a descanso sustitutorio the worker receives normal pay for the day worked plus pay for the compensatory day, so the extra 100% surcharge does not apply.
- Labor inspectors at Sunafil can fine employers that fail to provide the compensatory rest or the correct extra pay, with penalties reported from S/1,265 up to S/288,915 depending on company size.
- The guidance comes as the government also set July 27, 2026 as a compensable non-working day for the public sector, a scheduling move that may affect how employers plan compensatory days and payroll.
