From the monthly calculation to filings and reports. Every proposal states what is included.
Monthly payroll
Pre-payroll, gross-to-net calculation and payslips.
See detail
Monthly payroll calculation and payslips
We process payroll end to end: pre-payroll, validation of changes, gross-to-net calculation, income tax withholding, EsSalud and AFP or ONP. We deliver payslips in PDF, the bank file for payments and a summary of variations per worker.
Overtime, public holidays, leave and subsidies
We manage attendance events and apply premiums and benefits in line with the law and the company's internal policies. We calculate overtime and holidays worked, record leave and process subsidies. You receive a consolidated report ready to approve.
Records and filings
T-Registro, contracts and on-time submissions.
See detail
T-Registro entries and exits, and contract management
We handle entries and exits in T-Registro, SUNAT's employee register, and prepare contracts and addenda according to the applicable regime and modality. We keep the worker's digital file in order and flag deadlines and notices so nothing is filed late.
Filings with SUNAT, AFP, ONP and EsSalud
We prepare, validate and submit PLAME, the monthly payroll return filed with SUNAT, and AFPnet, the platform for private pension (AFP) contributions, within the deadlines. We also handle the related ONP (public pension) and EsSalud (public health insurance) obligations. We deliver receipts and submission tickets as evidence for each period.
Benefits and terminations
CTS, statutory bonuses, holidays and settlements.
See detail
CTS, statutory bonuses and annual leave by employment regime
We calculate CTS, the severance fund deposited each May and November, and the statutory bonuses (gratificaciones) paid in July and December, produce the corresponding letters and keep provisions under control. We maintain the record of accrued, scheduled and truncated holidays so balances are always current.
Final settlements and terminations
We prepare the final settlement with every item: truncated CTS, holidays and bonus, proportional family allowance and applicable deductions. We include receipts and the notice format for the departing worker.
Reports and inspections
Comparable information to decide and respond.
See detail
Monthly labour reports
We deliver reports on labour cost, provisions, absenteeism and contract expiry dates, in a stable format that allows periods to be compared.
Preparing information for a labour inspection
We support the company in preparing and ordering the labour information requested during an inspection, within the scope contracted.
This is a catalogue you contract from: the minimum fee does not cover all of it. What the minimum fee covers
Payroll outsourcing fees in Peru
A clear minimum fee for smaller operations and a tailored proposal for more complex services. All amounts are + IGV (Peruvian VAT) and invoiced in US dollars.
Minimum fee
From US$ 100
+ IGV per month · up to five workers
Monthly payroll calculation, plus an initial contract review and a checklist of formal obligations.
Minimum fee conditions
The payroll calculation is monthly. The review of existing employment contracts, with recommendations, and the checklist of formal obligations are delivered once, at the start of the service: they are not ongoing advisory work. If your company has fewer than five workers, the monthly minimum fee is the same. The rest of the catalogue is defined in the proposal.
A base proposal for your operation
For more than five workers. It sets the monthly amount, how many workers it includes, the scope and the growth conditions.
What we assess to prepare it
- Current headcount and the number that will be included
- Pay frequency: monthly, fortnightly or other
- Fixed, variable or mixed remuneration
- Number and type of payroll events in the period
- Applicable labour regimes
- Staff movements: entries, exits, contracts and addenda
- Reports required and how often
- Number of establishments and legal entities
The number of workers included is stated expressly in the commercial proposal.
Additional employees, in tiers
You only pay for workers beyond your base proposal.
- US$ 8First 50
- US$ 5Next 100
- US$ 3From 151
+ IGV per additional worker per month
Tiers are cumulative and apply only to workers beyond your base proposal. Reaching a new tier does not recalculate the whole payroll.
See a worked example
If your base proposal includes 40 workers and payroll grows to 100, there are 60 additional workers: 50 × US$ 8 + 10 × US$ 5 = US$ 450 + IGV per month, added to the amount of your base proposal.
A written scope for every operation
Basic payroll calculation or a broader managed service?
The minimum fee covers monthly calculation for up to five employees and defined initial deliverables. PLAME, AFPnet, T-Registro, statutory benefits, reporting and ongoing support are included only where expressly stated in the contracted proposal.
IGV is Peruvian VAT. Invoicing in US dollars. Above five workers, the proposal is defined in writing after assessing the operation.
Benefits of outsourcing payroll in Peru
An agreed calendar structures each review, filing and supporting record.
Obligations filed on time
Filing records and receipts organised in line with the agreed scope and deadlines.
Less rework
Checks on payroll incidents and changes before approval.
Information for decision-making
Labour cost, provisions and expiry dates in a stable format, comparable across periods.
Payroll close continuity
A documented monthly process reduces reliance on one person and helps business continuity.
Who it is for
-
Foreign head office or regional team
For companies abroad with an employer entity in Peru. We work with your head office or regional team in English or Spanish, agree who reviews and approves each payroll and, where reporting is part of your proposal, send monthly reports in a consistent format they can compare across periods. Invoicing is in US dollars.
-
Finance and controllership
A predictable monthly cost, on-time compliance and reports comparable across periods.
-
Human resources
You stop processing payroll and stay in charge of your people. We complement HR; we do not replace it.
Running payroll in-house or outsourcing the process?
We compare the payroll process, not having or not having an HR function.
Cost
In-house process: Time of whoever runs payroll, plus software and training.
Outsourced process: A monthly amount set in the proposal.
Continuity
In-house process: Holidays, leave or a departure stop the close.
Outsourced process: The close does not depend on one person.
Information
In-house process: Reports on request, in formats that vary.
Outsourced process: Monthly reports comparable across periods.
See the full comparison
| Aspect | In-house process | Outsourced process |
|---|---|---|
| Cost of the process | Time of whoever runs payroll today, on top of their other duties. | A monthly amount set in the proposal, predictable month to month. |
| Indirect costs | Payroll software, training, regulatory updates and supervision. | Covered by the service, with no separate items. |
| Holidays and absences | Can coincide with the monthly close. | The close does not depend on one person. |
| Replacement and turnover | Knowledge of the process leaves with the person. | Documented procedure; we manage the handover. |
| Specialisation | Usually combined with other administrative or accounting duties. | People dedicated to payroll and Peruvian labour regulations. |
| Regulatory updates | Requires following labour and tax changes yourself. | Following the regulations is part of the service. |
| Room to grow | More workers usually means more hours or a new hire. | The proposal sets the tiers for new workers in advance. |
| Information for management | Reports on request, in formats that vary. | Monthly reports in a stable, comparable format. |
Risks and problems we help manage
Payroll errors surface late: in an inspection, a claim or an exit.
SUNAFIL fines
Penalties for payroll errors, omissions in labour records or breaches found during an inspection.
Errors in statutory benefits
An incorrect calculation of CTS, bonuses, holidays or severance leads to undue payments and liabilities.
Labour claims
Poorly managed payroll can end in claims, inspections or avoidable labour proceedings.
Disorder in contracts
Losing track of contracts, addenda and expiry dates increases the company's labour exposure.
Late entries and exits
Registering a worker late in T-Registro is one of the most frequent findings in inspections.
Dependence on one person
When the process lives in one person's head and spreadsheet, a single absence stops the monthly close.
Information without order
Salaries and personal data scattered across emails and loose files, with no defined procedure for sending them.
No reporting
Without labour cost, turnover or provision figures, management decides without seeing how payroll is evolving.
What is payroll outsourcing and why does it matter?
It means delegating to a specialist team the payroll calculation, the filings before the authorities and the labour compliance of your company in Peru.
Read more and glossary
In practice, an external team takes on the process: it receives the month's changes, calculates pay and deductions, issues payslips, files PLAME and AFPnet, keeps T-Registro up to date and delivers the information in order for management.
It suits companies with no payroll function, companies that have one but depend on a single person, and groups that need a local provider familiar with Peruvian labour regulations.
It addresses three specific problems: the risk of errors in calculations and deadlines, operational dependence on one person, and the lack of consolidated labour information for decisions.
It is the same thing known as payroll services, payroll outsourcing or payroll administration. The name changes by country; the process and the regulations that apply in Peru do not.
- Planilla
- The term used in Peru for the monthly record and calculation of pay, contributions and deductions.
- Nómina
- The equivalent in other Spanish-speaking countries and in companies with a foreign parent.
- Payroll
- The English term, normally used by head offices and regional HR functions.

Monthly payroll calculation, issuing and sending payslips, T-Registro entries and exits, PLAME, AFPnet, ONP and EsSalud filings, CTS, statutory bonuses, holidays, severance settlements and monthly labour reports. The exact scope is whatever is contracted in the proposal.
The minimum fee is US$ 100 + IGV per month and includes up to five workers, with the payroll calculation, an initial review of existing employment contracts and the checklist of formal obligations. Above five workers we assess the operation — pay frequency, fixed or variable remuneration, payroll events, labour regimes, staff movements and reports — and prepare a base proposal stating the monthly amount and how many workers are included.
The base proposal states how many workers it includes. While that number is not exceeded, the monthly amount does not change. Once it is, only the additional workers are charged, cumulatively: US$ 8 + IGV for each of the first 50 additional, US$ 5 + IGV for each of the next 100 and US$ 3 + IGV from additional worker 151. The tiers do not apply to the whole payroll and are not recalculated retroactively.
The period's changes, attendance and payroll events, new contracts and addenda, and approval of the pre-payroll before the close. We agree a fixed format so the monthly process is quick.
Yes. We prepare, validate and submit the filings within the deadlines, and deliver the receipts and submission tickets as evidence for each period.
Yes. We calculate CTS and statutory bonuses in the legal periods, produce the corresponding letters, control provisions and maintain the record of accrued, scheduled and truncated holidays.
No. Lynch Payroll complements the human resources function through specialist payroll management, within the scope contracted. Your team stays with the people; we take on payroll processing and the obligations before the authorities that are included in the service.
Yes. We serve foreign companies that have staff or operations in Peru and need a local provider familiar with Peruvian labour regulations. Coordination can be in English or Spanish. The service is provided in Peru only: we do not act as an employer of record and we do not hire staff on the client's behalf.
They refer to the same process. Peru uses planilla, other Spanish-speaking countries use nómina, and payroll is the English term. What changes is not the concept but the regulations that apply in each country.
We receive the historical information, validate CTS, holiday and provision balances and review current contracts before taking over the process. The transfer calendar is agreed with the company according to the closing month.
No. Lynch Payroll is not an employer of record and does not hire staff on your behalf. The service is for companies that already have, or are setting up, their own employer entity in Peru: your company remains the employer, and we run payroll and the local filings included in your proposal.
