Are the requirements for night work in Peru?

Yes. In Peru, night work is defined as any work performed between 10:00 PM and 6:00 AM. This schedule requires specific contractual agreements and comes with mandatory compensation rules.


Night Work Compensation

  • Employees working during night hours are entitled to a minimum additional payment of 35% above their regular salary for the hours worked between 10:00 PM and 6:00 AM.

  • This night differential is a legal requirement under Peruvian labor law and aims to compensate employees for the inconvenience and health risks associated with night shifts.


Horizons’ Standard Policy

Horizons’ standard employment agreements do not include night work or the associated night differential payments by default. If a client requires employees to work night shifts, this must be:

  • Explicitly agreed upon in the employment contract

  • Formally documented to ensure compliance with local labor laws


Horizons will work closely with clients to draft and implement contracts that reflect night work arrangements and the required compensation if applicable.
