Spanish term

con carácter cancelatorio

Non-PRO Spanish to English Bus/Financial empleo
(Perú): La compensación por tiempo de servicios se deposita semestralmente por los empleadores con carácter cancelatorio, a nombre del trabajador y a elección individual de éste, en moneda nacional o extranjera, en una institución finaciera que se encuentre supervisada por la Superintendencia de Banca y Seguros o a cargo del empleador de acuerdo a los convenios individuales que se suscriban entre éste y cada trabajador.

with extinguishing effect

"by way of payment" is OK, I guess, but "cancelatorio" has an even stronger meaning here. Not only does the employer make payment, but by so doing it extinguishes its obligation to the employee, despite the fact that the payment is not made directly to the employee.

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "I believe P. Steven's answer "to pay", but I think that yours is even more so, because of this idea of cancelling a debt after the deposit is made. Thank you, and everyone else who took the time to meditate my question and come up with a feasible translation."

by way of payment

would be my interpretation of this since "cancelacion" in Latin American Spanish ofetn has the meaning of payment.

has the effect of a full discharge

"Depósito que tiene el carácter de cancelatorio" - so it ends in the final payment made by the Central Reserve of Peru to an employee who leaves his job. This means the deposit the Bank has made is in full compensation for each and all its obligations with the exiting employee. I translate it as "This deposit has the effect of a full discharge"
Note: This applies when the Employer deposits the money in a banking institution; not when he gives the money directly to the employee.
Further note: In Peru, employees receive severance pay even if they resign of their own free will.
