Peru Formalizes December Pay Raises for Constitutional Court and Diplomats

Recent laws put the court under a private-labor regime with authority over its pay scales.

Overview

  • The Constitutional Court approved an administrative resolution that sets each of its seven magistrates’ monthly pay at S/42,717.20 starting in December.
  • The new remuneration table also lifts pay for senior TC posts, including the secretary general to S/27,000, the chief of advisers to S/21,000, the secretary rapporteur to S/22,800, the director of administration to S/24,000, and the public prosecutor to S/21,000.
  • A Supreme Decree raised diplomatic service salaries effective December 15, increasing the ambassador’s pay to S/20,000 and charging the cost to the Foreign Ministry’s existing budget.
  • Law Nº 32408 shifted the TC to the private-labor regime, enabling its leadership to set human resources policies and salaries, with additional budget flexibility granted by a law published on November 3.
  • A separate congressional initiative from legislator Américo Gonza seeks to align National Justice Board pay with that of long-serving supreme court judges, a proposal that remains under discussion.
