Labor Law Clarifications
Clear legal answers to the essential questions foreign employers ask before engaging local or remote talent in Chile.
Can I hire remotely from abroad?
What must an employment contract include?
A foreign entity without a registered Chilean branch cannot directly employ Chilean tax residents under standard local labor payroll without using an authorized employer structure.
Contracts must define precise workplace location, job duties, salary breakdown, distribution of working hours within statutory weekly limits, and mandatory registration within 15 days.
Can I hire a contractor instead?
What happens if an employee files a claim?
Independent service agreements are valid only for genuine autonomy. Enforcing fixed work schedules, daily subordination, or exclusivity risks severe reclassification penalties.
The Dirección del Trabajo initiates mandatory conciliation hearings. Unresolved claims transfer to specialized labor tribunals where employers must substantiate compliance.
