Overview
- The Ministry of Labor ordered up to two hours' delayed arrival for employees who travel to or from Villa María del Triunfo, Villa El Salvador, San Juan de Miraflores and Chorrillos on Thursday, November 5, 2026.
- The rule applies to public and private employers and forbids treating rain-related delays as unjustified absences or imposing disciplinary sanctions.
- Journalists reported intense overnight drizzles that caused surface flooding and blocked road interchanges in parts of southern Lima, prompting Sedapal to use motor pumps to extract water.
- The MTPE urged employers to adopt flexible measures to handle commuting delays and framed the directive as a short-term response to mobility problems caused by El Niño-linked rains.
- Residents should expect continued cleanup and travel disruption while drainage and road crews work to restore normal flows, and authorities may issue further operational notices if heavy rain persists.
