Understand how to terminate employees in Peru and how Justworks EOR can help simplify the process.

Terminating an Employee in Peru
Before terminating an employee, employers set a three month probationary period. After the probationary period, employees are protected from being fired without a valid reason. Companies can only terminate employees for a justified cause and must give written notice. Grounds for dismissal can include employee misconduct or incapacity to perform the job. Reasons like poor performance can be challenging to use as grounds for termination.
