After the Ministry of Labor and Employment Promotion (MTPE) warned companies that the maximum deadline for the delivery of the Christmas bonus is until December 15, many formal workers wonder how much money they will receive, the amount of which varies according to the length of stay.
In that sense, the monetary sum will not be the same if you completed the six months of work in the company or if you recently joined. Therefore, here we explain all the details you need to know about this calculation.
It should be noted that, for the calculation of the bonus, the amount of a full salary is considered and an extraordinary bonus of 9% is added for the payment of EsSalud on said bonus, or of 6.75% if you are affiliated to a Health Provider Company (EPS).
How many months do I have to be in the company to receive a bonus?
To receive a full bonus, you must have been with the company for at least six months. Mauricio Matos, associate partner of the Labor Area of EY Peru, specified that if the worker worked for more than a month and is not working during the payment date of the bonus, “You will receive a proportional bonus based on the months worked between July and December”.
What about new workers?
In the case of those who have less than six months working in a company, the bonus will be equal to one sixth of their salary for each month worked, indicated the Lima Chamber of Commerce (CCL)
If I have been with the company for less than a month, do I receive a bonus?
This question is very common in the population that works formally in a company; however, it should be noted that You must have, at least, one month of permanence in the organization.
Mauricio Matos argued that, if the worker did not work the full semester, “he will receive a proportional bonus based on the months worked between July and December.”
How is the calculation done?
In order to calculate the bonus amount, it is taken into account the last gross salary received by the worker. To this figure, an extraordinary bonus of 9% is added if you contribute to EsSalud or 6.75% if you are affiliated with a Health Provider Company (EPS).
EY Peru informs, for its part, that the calculation does not include any concept that is not remunerative (utilities, food benefits, mobility subject to attendance at the workplace, among others), as well as the working conditions that are essential for the provision of the service.
