Hiring Employees – PEO versus Entity Setup in Chile
Having a large working population with a good pool of candidates is appealing to new companies trying to expand into the Chilean market. However, there are general employment rules in Chile that have to be considered before hiring employees.
In Chile, it is mandatory for companies to share at least 30% of their taxable income with employees. Employees are entitled to 15 working days (Monday to Friday) paid vacations after 1 year of continuous employment and employees with 10 or more years of experience receive an additional day of vacation for every subsequent three years of service.
Employees can be hired part-time or full-time. Fixed-term employment agreements have a maximum duration of 12 months and can be extended up to 24 months for employees holding a technical position or having a professional title granted by an educational institution recognized in Chile
