Restricted access to the annual integral remuneration scheme due to the high salary threshold in the current regulations, which require a minimum income equivalent to two Tax Units (or UIT)

Currently, only workers with a monthly income of at least PEN 10,700.00 are eligible for this benefit, excluding those with high incomes but fall below this threshold.

Deficit in the professional practice of social workers in Peru

In the private sector, social workers represent only 0.97% of professionals employed across all companies in Peru. This impacts the ability to adequately address labor and social needs in the workplace, as well as the hiring and proper practice of social workers.

Impact on labor oversight and challenges regarding transparency of remuneration and social benefit payments made in cash 30 September 2025 comentariosdnt@trabajo.gob
Impact on the labor rights of fishery workers during periods of economic inactivity, such as closed seasons for the extraction and processing of hydrobiological resources, since employers can suspend employment contracts during such periods 30 September 2025 comentariosdnt@trabajo.gob
High incidence of labor violence and harassment, especially gender-based, which restricts workers' access to and retention in their workplaces under decent working conditions 30 August 2025 chinojosa@trabajo.gob.pe
Absence of an occupational safety and health management system (or OSHMS), which exposes workers to occupational risks and leads to occupational accidents, occupational diseases and other health problems 31 October 2025 sat@trabajo.gob.pe
High percentage of self-employed people who earn less than the minimum living wage (or RMV) and who operate informally and without decent employment conditions, which affects their well-being and ability to contribute to formal economic development 15 October 2025 autoempleoproductivo@trabajo.gob.pe
