What is the Special Regime for Administrative Contracting of Services (CAS)?
The special regime of administrative contracting of services (CAS) in Peru is a specific system used by public entities for the incorporation of personnel. It was established with the aim of regulating the hiring of workers in the public sector in a more flexible and efficient way compared to traditional employment contracts.
One of the main characteristics of the regime CAS is its contractual flexibility. This system allows public institutions to hire staff in a more adaptable and agile way, which facilitates the incorporation of workers to meet specific and temporary needs. In addition, contracts under this regime are usually short-term and are generally renewable, thus allowing entities to adjust their workforce according to their operational requirements.
Although employees hired under the regime CAS Although CAS workers do not enjoy all the rights and benefits of permanent public sector workers, they do have certain important benefits. These include health insurance, paid vacations and bonuses, among others. However, unlike permanent employees, CAS workers do not have the right to job stability, which means that their contracts may not be renewed at the end of their term without the need for additional justification.
A significant advantage of the regime CAS is the possibility of direct hiring. Public entities can hire workers without having to hold public competitions, although in practice they seek to respect principles of transparency and meritocracy. This aspect contributes to efficiency in public management, allowing the hiring of qualified personnel for specific projects or temporary situations in a quick and efficient manner.
