The new Peruvian Minister of Labour and Employment Promotion, Alfonso Grados, confirmed that starting on August 8th, “business hours for citizens who go to the Employment Centres and Labour Support Windows will be extended”, in Lima, and in the offices in the Northern, Southern and Eastern Cone”.

Employment Centres, the Peruvian public employment service, will start serving the public from 06:00 AM “to be closer to the citizen and solve an unsatisfied demand the services currently have”.

Grados explained that Employment Centre services “aim to facilitate labour formalization and youth employment policies”.

“We assist around 500 thousand people per year, and we want to extend the coverage of services in the entire country, to increase it 40%”, said the new Minister.

Therefore, starting on August 8th, business hours for the Employment Centre and Labour Support Window located at the headquarters (Av. Salaverry 655, Jesús María) shall go from 06:30 AM to 07:00 PM.

The new business hour will be gradually implemented in the offices of the districts of San Juan de Lurigancho (Av. Germanio con Jr. Vanadio) and Los Olivos (Av. Universitaria Nº 2202).

An ideal complement to increase labour intermediation formalization would be the articulation with private employment services.
