Hiring Across South America

South America offers a deep, increasingly remote-ready talent pool across software development, finance, and shared services, with time zones that align well with North American working hours. The region is also known for employee-protective labour law: mandatory bonuses, generous leave, and structured severance are standard features rather than exceptions. Codified labour systems — such as Brazil’s CLT — leave limited flexibility, and misclassifying an employee as a contractor can lead to significant back-pay and penalty exposure. An Employer of Record allows companies to hire compliantly across South American markets without first incorporating a local entity. TMS supports companies expanding into South America by coordinating compliant EOR engagements through an established EOR partner network, applying consistent onboarding and compliance governance built over 20+ years of HR operations.

Key Hiring Considerations Across South America

Country	Notable Employment Feature	Typical Notice Period
Brazil	CLT labour code with a mandatory 13th-month salary, FGTS severance fund, and one month of paid annual leave	30 days, extending with length of service
Argentina	Employment Contract Law with a 13th-month salary (aguinaldo) paid in two instalments	15 days to 2 months, depending on tenure
Chile	Labour Code with structured severance based on years of service	30 days, or pay in lieu of notice
Colombia	Substantive Labour Code with mandatory bonus (prima) and severance (cesantias) contributions	As contracted, with statutory severance on dismissal
Peru	Labour legislation with two annual bonuses (gratificaciones) and a CTS severance deposit	Notice and entitlements set by the contract category

How EOR Simplifies South America Expansion

Onboard employees in Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, and other markets without incorporating a local company first.
Administer mandatory bonuses such as the 13th-month salary, along with severance funds and statutory leave, through the EOR.
Avoid contractor misclassification, which is a frequent and costly compliance risk in South American jurisdictions.
Issue locally compliant contracts in the required language and meet registration obligations with labour and tax authorities.
Consolidate multi-country payroll and reporting under a single TMS-coordinated engagement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is contractor classification a concern in South America?

Many South American countries treat ongoing, supervised work as employment regardless of the contract label. Misclassification can trigger back-payment of bonuses, severance, and social contributions. An EOR engages the worker as a compliant employee from the outset, removing this risk.

What is the 13th-month salary?

It is a mandatory additional payment, common across the region, equal to roughly one month’s pay and often split into instalments. The EOR budgets for and pays it on the statutory schedule as part of total employment cost.

Can we start with one hire and scale later?

Yes. An EOR is well suited to a single first hire and to gradual scaling. TMS coordinates the engagement so you can add headcount across South American markets without standing up subsidiaries.
