Using our EOR services in Guatemala allows you to access the opportunities of the Guatemalan market within days while we take care of the paperwork for hiring your workforce compliantly.

Employer of Record (EOR)

Working with an Employer of Record (EOR) is the sensible and safest route for entering the economy of the Republic of Guatemala and dealing with its employment legislation and tax laws, to ensure a smooth transition into your new territory.

Hassle-Free Expansion

Guatemala is the strongest economy in Central America and occupies a strategic geographical location. Mexico is to the north, Central American nations to the south open the gateway to South America, while coastlines on the Pacific and Caribbean open up global sea lanes.

Although agriculture has become a diminishing sector of Guatemala’s economy, it is still strongly reflected in its exports of bananas, coffee, raw sugar and palm oil. In 2020, Guatemala was the largest exporter of nutmeg globally. The manufacturing sector focuses on textiles, furniture, rubber processing, pharmaceuticals and chemicals, sugar, coffee and processed foods.

Each new market brings new challenges, and these can be worked through efficiently and cost-effectively with the support of an international Professional Employer Organisation (PEO) such as Bradford Jacobs, especially through our Employer of Record (EOR) framework.

Why Choose an EOR?

Our EOR services in Guatemala offer our global entity network to companies considering expansion. We become your international employees’ Employer of Record, meaning that we take full responsibility for your employees’:

  • Labour contracts
  • Compliance with Guatemalan laws
  • Tax contributions
  • Payroll

As an Employer Of Record, we conclude an agreement with you and the employee who will be working for your company. We become the legal employer of your new workforce. Your company maintains control over the working relationship, work ethics, tasks, and daily responsibilities of your employee.

The most significant benefit of using our EOR services in Guatemala is probably that there is then no necessity for you to set up an entity there. This process can take months, and during this period, it is unlikely that you will have legal resources to pay your employees in Guatemala, resulting in a considerable delay in your Global Expansion plans.

Global expansion is an exciting step that often leads to a growing and successful business, but the red tape in a new country can be demotivating and frustrating. Imagine a way to expand your business without red tape globally and at low costs: that is what working with an EOR can do for you. By letting us take care of the hard part, you can focus on the significant part: expanding your business into Guatemala.

These are the aspects we can take away from you:

  • Registering with the tax and social security office.
  • Immerse yourself in the local laws, customs, and regulations.
  • Get familiar with Guatemalan labour benefits and other contract-related customs.
  • Approach potential employees and make them an offer.
  • Setting up the Payroll system compliantly.
  • Submitting wage tax returns and national insurance forms.
  • Staying up-to-date and compliant with changes in Guatemalan regulations.
