The Civil Service Laws in Peru, regulates a remunerative concept called "Bonificación Diferencial" (Differential Bonus), designed for being paid to civil servants, but only when they hold a special kind of managerial positions called "cargos de responsabilidad directiva". This article aims to bring up for discussion the criteria of interpretation and applica- tion of such rules by administrative and judicial authorities, because of the way they understand the very concept of "cargo de responsabilidad directiva", which is the key concept to determinate if the Bonus should be paid or not. In order to do this analysis, certain technical aspects of the Peruvian Civil Service regulations will be reviewed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective. To describe the main characteristics of the general salaries situation and the incentive policies of health care workers of Peru, comparing them by their origin institution and type of contract. Materials and methods. A mixed design study was done including both quantitative and qualitative components during 2008 and 2009 with both professional and technical personnel of the Ministry of Health (MINSA) and the Social Insurance (EsSalud) in Peru. The salary structure was primarily evaluated considering incentives, bonuses and other remunerations according to position, type of contract and work place. Results. Remuneration and bonus policies at the national level are determined by the responsibilities and amount of time served. The type of contract is determined by the programs of the public system (DL 276) and the private system (DL 728), also by the Special Program of Contract Services Administration (CAS) and exclusively in MINSA contracting is determined by local health administration Committees (CLAS). The salary structure differs between both types of institutions, especially with respect to incentives and benefits. An special economic incentive for assistance (AETA) is unique to MINSA, but the proportion of assistance varies by region. The professionals of MINSA have lower salaries than those of EsSalud, in all types of contracts. A professional contracted through CAS generally has a lower salary than staff peers in MINSA, though this situation is reversed in EsSalud. The lowest salaries are found in contracts made through CLAS. Conclusions. The structure and salary amounts differ between MINSA and EsSalud, just as they differ by existing contracting types.
