Hire employees in Peru with an Employer of Record

Hiring in Peru requires a registered local employer to handle payroll, taxes, and statutory benefits. With Expand EOR, our local entity becomes the legal employer — so you can hire any candidate in Peru without setting up your own subsidiary.

The local currency is PEN and the standard payroll cycle is monthly (14 payments/yr). The official working language is Spanish, and contracts must comply with Peru employment law.

Payroll in Peru runs monthly (14 payments/yr). Employers are responsible for income tax withholding, social security contributions, and any mandatory benefits.

Estimated employer cost on top of gross salary: ~9% EsSalud + benefits. Expand EOR handles all calculations, deductions, and statutory filings on your behalf.

Total cost = gross salary + employer contributions (~9% EsSalud + benefits) + EOR fee starting at $299/month. There are no setup fees, no hidden charges, and no per-country surprises.

• Stay 100% compliant with Peru employment, tax, and labour law.
• Pay employees in PEN on time, every cycle.
• Provide compliant local benefits and a great employee experience.
• Avoid permanent establishment risk and misclassification penalties.
