Overview of the S/100 Bonus and Budget Approval
The Public Budget for 2026 has successfully passed the Congress’s plenary session, paving the way for its implementation by the Executive Branch. This budget is crucial for outlining public financial management for Fiscal Year 2026, detailing allocations across essential sectors including Health and Education.
One flagship feature of this budget is the announcement of a one-time bonus of S/100 for all public sector workers, set to be distributed in January 2026.
Details of the Bonus
The approved budget outlines the one-time S/100 bonus intended for employees across various government tiers—national, regional, and local governments. Specific coverage includes employees under several legal regimes:
- Servers under Legislative Decrees 276
- Servers under Legislative Decrees 728
- Servers under Legislative Decrees 1057
- Servers under Law 30057
- Servers under Law 29709

Conditions for Receiving the Bonus
The bonus is governed by specific conditions outlined in the Twelfth clause of the Centralized Collective Agreement 2025-2026. This was ratified under Law 31188, the Collective Bargaining Law in the State Sector, along with Article 27 of the Public Sector Budget Law (Law 32185).
It is important to note that this exceptional bonus is non-remunerative and will not contribute to social security or pension calculations. The processing will commence in December 2025, with payment occurring in January 2026.
Eligibility and Registration Process
To qualify for the bonus, employees must be part of the centralized payroll registry managed through the Ministry of Economy and Finance by June 30, 2025. Additionally, a valid employment relationship must be confirmed as of the payment date.
For local government personnel, eligibility also involves registration in either the provisional registry of the payroll computer application or the Electronic Payroll system managed by the Ministry of Labor.
In summary, the approved S/100 bonus represents a significant move towards improving public sector morale and providing financial support during the upcoming fiscal year. With clear guidelines and eligibility criteria, public workers can anticipate this additional benefit as part of their remuneration in 2026.
