Hal-hal penting yang dapat diambil
- Chile is a stable country for global hiring: A skilled workforce, strong infrastructure, and growing tech sector make it a key market for expansion in Latin America.
- Labor reforms are changing hiring requirements: The phased move to a 40-hour workweek and strict contractor classification rules need careful compliance planning.
- Employment costs go beyond salary: Make sure to budget for mandatory profit-sharing bonuses, pension contributions, statutory benefits, and the January 2026 minimum wage increase to CLP 539,000.
- Hire in Chile without setting up a local entity: Use an employer of record (EOR) to simplify payroll, compliance, and onboarding.
Chili adalah basis yang kuat bagi perusahaan yang berekspansi di Amerika Latin. Negara ini menawarkan stabilitas ekonomi, perdagangan terbuka, dan akses ke talenta terampil di bidang keuangan, teknologi, pertambangan, dan energi terbarukan.
Tetapi reformasi ketenagakerjaan baru membentuk kembali cara perusahaan mempekerjakan di Chili. Panduan kami mencakup semua yang perlu Anda ketahui tentang membangun TIM patuh di Chili.
Apa yang harus diketahui sebelum merekrut di Chili
Before you hire employees in Chile, take a deep dive into the country’s labor rules and workplace expectations.
Berikut adalah empat area utama yang harus direncanakan:
1. Transisi minggu kerja 40jam baru
Chile is moving toward a 40-hour workweek under the country’s 40 Hours Law. The rollout follows a phased timeline:
- 44 hours per week from April 2024
- 42 hours per week from April 2026
- 40 hours per week from April 2028
Pengusaha harus membayar lembur dengan premi 50%, dan lembur tidak boleh melebihi dua jam per hari. Aturan baru juga memungkinkan karyawan untuk mengubah lembur menjadi cuti tambahan - hingga lima hari liburan ekstra setiap tahun.
2. Tidak ada masa percobaan hukum
Masa percobaan menurut undang-undang tidak ada di Chili. Karyawan mendapatkan perlindungan tenaga kerja penuh sejak awal bekerja.
You’ll also need to finalize and sign written employment contracts within 15 days of the employee’s start date. Missing this deadline triggers fines of up to 5 UTM — a government-set penalty unit worth roughly CLP 340,000, or about USD 350, depending on the monthly exchange rate.
3. Negosiasi gaji bersih
Kandidat di Chili bernegosiasi berdasarkan gaji bersih, bukan kompensasi tahunan kotor.
Ini penting karena karyawan menanggung sebagian besar biaya jaminan sosial melalui pemotongan gaji. Pengurangan ini meliputi:
- 10% kontribusi pensiun
- 7% kontribusi asuransi kesehatan
- Pembayaran asuransi pengangguran
In addition, Chilean law requires employers to pay a statutory annual bonus called gratificación. This bonus can be calculated as a share of company profits or as a fixed amount. Most employers also offer aguinaldos, or holiday bonuses, during Christmas and Chilean Independence Day.
4. Persyaratan bahasa Spanyol
Semua dokumen pekerjaan yang mengikat secara hukum harus:
- Disusun dalam bahasa Spanyol
- Two signed originals are legally required (one for each party). Keeping an extra copy on-site for inspections is a best practice.
Companies expanding into Chile often use local legal advisors or partner with an employer of record (EOR) to stay compliant and reduce contract risks.
Pusat perekrutan teratas di Chili
Memilih talenta yang tepat dimulai dengan memilih lokasi yang tepat:
- Santiago is Chile’s main business and financial center. The city leads the country in finance, technology, startups, and multinational headquarters. It also houses the country’s largest professional talent pool, making it a safe bet for companies building teams in Chile.
- Valparaíso and Viña del Mar are growing technology and professional services hubs. Many companies use them as a lower-cost alternative to Santiago while still gaining solid technical talent. The region is known for software development, logistics technology, and professional services.
- Antofagasta sits at the center of Chile’s mining economy and is widely recognized as a global mining technology hub. Companies hiring here often look for talent in industrial engineering, automation, robotics, and mining technology.
- Concepción is one of southern Chile’s largest industrial and university centers. Strong research institutions and manufacturing activity spark competition for technical talent. The city is a top location for hiring in research, applied engineering, and industrial software.
Industri utama di Chili
Understanding where Chile’s hiring market is strongest helps you benchmark salaries, target talent pools, and plan a better hiring strategy.
- Mining and minerals: Chile is the world’s largest copper producer and one of the leading lithium producers globally. Companies are actively hiring industrial engineers, automation specialists, robotics experts, and professionals with experience in autonomous mining systems.
- Information technology: Chile has one of the most developed digital markets in Latin America. Job demand is strong for software engineers, cybersecurity specialists, AI experts, cloud professionals, and talent specializing in 5G applications and digital infrastructure. Hiring activity has also increased, following Chile’s Cybersecurity Framework Law in 2024.
- Renewable energy: Chile is quickly upgrading its solar and wind energy capacity as part of its long-term green energy transition. The country’s northern regions support some of the world’s largest solar projects thanks to high solar exposure and large-scale infrastructure investment.
- Fintech: Chile’s fintech sector continues to grow following the introduction of the 2023 Fintech Law, which created a regulatory framework for financial innovation. The sector is driving demand for talent in digital payments, lending technology, compliance, financial management platforms, and regulatory technology.
- Industrial engineering and manufacturing: Chile’s industrial sector supports demand for applied engineering and operational talent, particularly in logistics, manufacturing, and infrastructure development. Common roles include mechanical engineers, operations managers, industrial software specialists, and supply chain professionals.

Langkah-langkah kunci untuk mempekerjakan di Chili
Proses penerimaan karyawan di Chili mencerminkan proses di negara asal Anda, tetapi hadir dengan nuansa lokal. Inilah yang diharapkan:
1. Pengadaan strategis
Personal networking plays an important role in Chile’s hiring market, but digital hiring channels are highly effective. Many employers use local job boards like Laborum alongside specialized technology and professional networks to reach qualified candidates. If you’re hiring remote employees in Chile, clearly state this in the job description.
2. Wawancara terstruktur
Structured interviews and case-based assessments improve hiring consistency and reduce bias during candidate evaluations. Keep Chile’s strict anti-discrimination laws in mind — avoid questions regarding an applicant's marital status or trade union affiliation. For virtual interviews, remember to schedule meetings using the candidate’s local time zone.
3. Finalisasi kontrak
You must finalize a written employment contract before your new hire begins. Pay close attention to ensuring the clause of exclusivity is included, along with the mandatory Spanish text. The contract must also clearly outline the location, start date, remuneration, and work schedule.
4. Orientasi
Once the contract is signed, onboarding begins. This process usually includes policy reviews, compliance paperwork, and training. One of the most important compliance steps is registering the new hire with Chile’s social security system within 30 days of employment. With G-P EOR, your team skips the complexity of local onboarding requirements. We manage payroll, compliance, and employment administration in Chile, so you can focus on training and integrating new hires.
Mempekerjakan kontraktor independen di Chili
Mempekerjakan kontraktor independen di Chili memberi TIM Anda akses cepat ke talenta khusus tanpa komitmen kerja jangka panjang. Namun hubungan kontraktor harus disusun dengan hati-hati untuk menghindari risiko klasifikasi kekeliruan.
Sebelum Anda melibatkan kontraktor di Chili, ingatlah hal-hal berikut:
Prinsip keunggulan realitas
Chile follows the primacy of reality principle, meaning labor authorities look at the actual working relationship, not just the contract language. This means if a contractor works under a company’s direction and control, they’ll be classified as an employee — regardless of what the agreement says.
Faktor risiko utama meliputi:
- Jam kerja tetap
- Pengawasan langsung
- Pengaturan kerja eksklusif
- Ketergantungan berkelanjutan pada satu perusahaan
Risiko salah klasifikasi
Salah mengklasifikasikan karyawan sebagai kontraktor memicu hukuman yang signifikan di Chili.
Berbagai dokumen ini meliputi:
- Kontribusi jaminan sosial retroaktif
- Pembayaran kembali untuk tunjangan hukum
- Denda dan hukuman pengadilan perburuhan
