Peruvian employees are on the verge of paying bonuses in July, a date that thousands of Peruvians are looking forward to. Companies have up to July 15 to make this deposit to their workers. However, since this date falls on a Saturday, the maximum term to pay this labor benefit would be reduced to Friday the 14th, warns the economist Omar Azanedo.
“Payroll payments are carried out in the bank payment systems. Normally, these tools work for the businessman on Saturday until noon. So most likely they are making their payments on Friday the 14th.“, he comments.
