Available Chilean Payroll Options

  • Remote payroll – This option allows businesses to operate under a single payroll system, by adding employees in Chile to your parent company’s payroll. However, these employees must operate under different regulations, which is likely to cause problems.
  • Internal payroll – You may operate payroll for your subsidiary, especially if you are committed to growing your company’s presence in Chile. However, this does require hiring dedicated HR staff who understand Chilean employment and compliance laws.
  • Chiles’ payroll processing company – If you are considering outsourcing, then working with a Chilean payroll company will help in processing your payroll – but not when it comes to compliance.
  • Chiles’ payroll outsourcing – However, there is another option available that solves both concerns – by working with Bradford Jacobs. We can handle payroll and compliance for all your employees in Chile. We take the administrative stress off your shoulders so you can focus on what you do best.

The first step for foreign companies intending to set up payroll in Chile is to establish a legal entity in the country, the usual choice is a limited liability company – a Sociedad de Responsabilidad Limitada, or SRL, which operates according to Chile’s Commercial and Civil Codes.
