Employees must have worked at least a full month between July and December of this year.
As regards workers in small companies, the regulations establish that those hired, after the company is registered in the Registry of Micro and Small Companies (Remype), will receive half a salary for the concept of gratification.

The Gratuities Law No. 27735 It specifies that the amount assigned for this concept must be equal to the worker’s full salary, without any discount, if he worked the entire semester from July to December and is working on the date the deposit is made.
