Risks and problems we help manage
Payroll is not only a monthly calculation. Errors in calculations, labour records and statutory benefits can lead to fines, claims and liabilities that surface late.
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?
Payroll outsourcing means delegating to a specialist team the payroll calculation, the filings before the authorities and the labour compliance of your company in Peru.
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.
Running payroll in-house or outsourcing the process?
The comparison is between keeping the payroll process inside the company and handing it to a specialist provider. Not between having or not having an HR function.
| Aspect | In-house process | Outsourced process |
|---|---|---|
| Cost of the process | Time spent by the person or team who currently runs payroll, on top of their other duties. | A monthly amount set in the proposal, predictable month to month. |
| Indirect costs | Payroll software, training, keeping up with regulations and supervision time. | Covered by the service, with no separate items to budget for. |
| Holidays and absences | The responsible person's holidays, leave or sick days can coincide with the monthly close. | The close does not depend on one person's availability. |
| Replacement and turnover | A departure means hiring and training again. Knowledge of the process leaves with the person. | The procedure is documented and handover within the team is managed by us. |
| 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 an additional hire. | The proposal sets out in advance the tiers for workers who join. |
| Information for management | Reports built on request, in formats that vary. | Monthly reports in a stable format, comparable across periods. |

What does our payroll outsourcing service cover?
From the monthly calculation to filings, statutory benefits and reports for management. The scope is contracted: every proposal states what is included.
We serve operations that differ from one another — offices, plants, warehouses, construction sites and field staff — with the labour regimes and payroll events each one involves.
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.
T-Registro entries and exits, and contract management
We handle entries and exits in T-Registro 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 and AFPnet within the deadlines, along with ONP and EsSalud obligations. We deliver receipts and submission tickets as evidence for each period.
CTS, statutory bonuses and holidays by labour regime
We calculate CTS and statutory bonuses in the legal periods, produce the corresponding letters and keep provisions under control. We maintain the record of accrued, scheduled and truncated holidays so balances are always current.
Severance calculation and worker exits
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.
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.
Organising information for an inspection
We support the company in preparing and ordering the labour information requested during an inspection, within the scope contracted.
This is the catalogue of services that can be contracted, not the content of the minimum fee. The minimum fee of US$ 100 + VAT per month covers the payroll calculation, an initial review of existing employment contracts with recommendations, and the checklist of formal obligations. Everything else is defined in the proposal. See how the fee is built

How much does a payroll service in Peru cost?
One model with three components, not three plans
The price does not depend only on headcount. It depends on how your payroll is built: pay frequency, variable items, the month's events and the labour regimes that apply.
Component A · Minimum fee
US$ 100 + VAT per month, up to five workers
It covers only the monthly payroll calculation, an initial review of existing employment contracts with recommendations, and the checklist of formal obligations the company must have in place.
The payroll calculation is monthly. The contract review and the checklist 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.
Component B · Tailored base proposal
Above five workers, the proposal is defined according to the operation and sets out four things: the monthly amount, the number of workers included, the scope contracted and the growth conditions.
Factors we assess to prepare the proposal
- 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.
Component C · Additional workers
If headcount exceeds the number included in the base proposal, only the additional workers are charged, in cumulative tiers.
- First 50 additional US$ 8 + VAT per worker per month
- Next 100 additional US$ 5 + VAT per worker per month
- From additional worker 151 US$ 3 + VAT per worker per month
The tiers apply only to workers additional to your base proposal and are calculated cumulatively. Reaching a new tier does not recalculate the whole payroll at the lowest rate.
All amounts shown are plus Peruvian VAT (IGV) and invoicing is in US dollars.
Request a proposal
Above five workers, the proposal is defined in writing after assessing how the company operates.
What outsourcing payroll changes for your company
What you receive each month, and what stops happening once the process is no longer improvised.
Obligations filed on time
The period's filings are submitted within the deadlines with their receipts on file. When an inspection arrives, nothing has to be reconstructed.
Fewer reworks
Fewer undue payments and fewer worker claims caused by a wrong calculation or a late registration.
Information in order
Monthly reports on labour cost, provisions and expiry dates in a stable format, comparable across periods.
Continuity of the close
The monthly close happens on time even if your payroll lead is on holiday, on leave or has left the company.
Frequently asked questions about payroll services in Peru
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 + VAT 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 + VAT for each of the first 50 additional, US$ 5 + VAT for each of the next 100 and US$ 3 + VAT 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.
