Hire in Chile,
compliantly,
without the complexity.

Expanding to Chile

Chile boasts one of Latin America's most stable, open, and prosperous economies. It has become a dominant regional hub for technology, mining engineering, clean energy, and financial technology services.

An EOR allows global organizations to recruit Chilean talent smoothly without foreign company registration or local accounting hurdles.

Employment Regulations in Chile

Standard working hours are capped at 40 hours per week under progressive labor reform legislation. Chilean law does not formally recognize probationary periods; contracts are either fixed-term or indefinite from day one. Termination requires valid statutory grounds or 'needs of the company', accompanied by notice and statutory severance.

Taxation and Employee Benefits

Employers pay approximately 4% to 7% for unemployment insurance (Seguro de Cesantía) and work accident coverage (Ley Sanna/Accidentes). Mandatory benefits include 15 working days of paid annual vacation, public holidays, and employer contributions to unemployment funds.

Chilean Payroll Administration

Payroll processes monthly in CLP. Employers remit mandatory contributions (AFP pension funds, Fonasa/Isapre health insurance, and unemployment insurance) directly via the Previred electronic portal.

Intellectual Property and Data Security

Intellectual property rights for software and technical developments created by an employee under employment contracts vest directly in the employer under Chilean Intellectual Property Law No. 17.336. Data security follows Law No. 19.628.
