CAS Workers in Peru to Receive July Bonuses: Ministries Confirm Payment, Seven Entities Confirm Budget, Amid Funding Concerns

Seven Peruvian state entities have confirmed they will pay the legally mandated gratification and CTS (Compensación por Tiempo de Servicios) to workers under the Administrative Service Contracting (CAS) regime in July 2026, in compliance with Law No. 32563.

The confirmation comes despite earlier concerns from the Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF) about funding, as the law requires each entity to cover the costs from its own budget without additional transfers from the public treasury.

The entities that have secured budget for the payment are the Ministry of Energy and Mines, the Ministry of Culture, the Ministry of Foreign Relations, the Ministry of Housing, the National Superintendency of University Higher Education (Sunedu), the National Superintendency of Migrations, and the National University of Huancavelica.

Additional entities that have since joined the list include the Municipality of San Luis, the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights, the Geophysical Institute of Peru, and the Ministry of the Interior, bringing the total number of confirming state bodies to at least eleven.

Workers under the CAS regime will receive their gratification together with the private sector, with payments scheduled to be made no later than July 15, 2026.

Law No. 32563, which establishes the right to gratification and CTS for CAS workers, is already in effect and will be applied starting this year, as previously announced by President José María Balcázar.

The MEF has maintained that it will not approve budget transfers to finance the gratifications, insisting that each entity must use its own allocated resources to fulfill the legal obligation.
