CTS DETAILS
Eric Castro, partner in the Labor Area of the Miranda & Amado firm, recalled that the CTS payment benefits workers who are on the payroll and work at least four hours a day or 20 hours a week.
To calculate the corresponding amount, he pointed out that different components of the worker’s fixed and variable remuneration must be considered. In the case of fixed salaries, the basic salary and family allowance (when applicable) are included.
Regarding variable remuneration, these include overtime, bonuses that must have been received at least three times during the semester to be counted, commissions and one sixth of the last bonus received in July, excluding the extraordinary bonus.
“If, for example, the base salary of a worker with children is S/2,000, S/113 family allowance will be added, plus the average of variables (if any, in this case it is not) and the corresponding bonus (S/352.16). The total (S/2,456.16.) will be divided by 12 and multiplied by the six months of work, resulting, in this case, S/ 1,232.58”, he detailed.
Failure to comply is a serious infraction. Sanctions vary depending on the size of the company and the number of workers affected. Currently, fines can range from S/2,407.50 to S/24,075 for small companies, and between S/8,399.50 and S/139,742 for medium and large companies.
In addition, failure to deliver the deposit settlement sheet is also punishable, with fines that are also calculated based on the type of company and number of workers affected.
