主なポイント
- 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.
チリは、ラテンアメリカで事業を拡大する企業にとって強力な拠点となる。この国は、経済の安定性、自由な貿易、そして金融、テクノロジー、鉱業、再生可能エネルギー分野における優秀な人材へのアクセスを提供している。
しかし、新たな労働改革がチリにおける企業雇用のあり方を再構築しています。 私たちのガイドは、チリで法令遵守チームを構築するために必要なすべてを網羅しています。
チリで雇用する前に知っておくべきこと
Before you hire employees in Chile, take a deep dive into the country’s labor rules and workplace expectations.
計画を立てる上で重要な4つの分野は以下のとおりです。
1. The new 40-hour workweek transition
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
Employers must pay overtime at a 50% premium, and overtime can’t exceed two hours per day. New rules also allow employees to convert overtime into additional leave — up to five extra vacation days annually.
2 。法的保護観察期間はなし
チリには法定の保護観察期間は存在しない。従業員は雇用開始時から完全な労働保護を受けることができます。
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 。純給与交渉
Candidates in Chile negotiate based on net salary, not gross annual compensation.
これは重要な問題です。なぜなら、従業員は給与天引きを通じて社会保障費の大部分を負担しているからです。これらの控除には以下が含まれます。
- 10% pension contribution
- 7% 健康保険拠出
- 失業保険給付金
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 。スペイン語の要件
法的拘束力のある雇用関連書類はすべて、以下の条件を満たしていなければなりません。
- Drafted in Spanish
- 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.
Top hiring hubs in Chile
適切な人材を選ぶには、まず適切な 場所を選ぶことから始まります:
- 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.
チリの主要産業
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.

会社はチリで雇用する従業員に何をすべきでしょうか?
チリで従業員を雇用する前に、合法的な拠点を確保する必要があります。ほとんどの企業は、地元の法人を設立するか、雇用代行業者(EOR)と協力するかを選びます。

チリで人材を採用するための重要なステップ
チリの採用プロセスはあなたの母国と似ていますが、地域ごとに細かなニュアンスがあります。以下に、予想される内容を示します。
1 。戦略的調達
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 。構造化面接
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 。契約の最終化
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 。入社プロセス
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.
チリで独立請負人を雇用する
Hiring independent contractors in Chile gives your team fast access to specialized talent without long-term employment commitments. But contractor relationships must be structured carefully to avoid misclassification risks.
チリで請負人と関わる前に、以下の点を念頭に置いてください:
現実の優位性の原則
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.
主な危険因子は以下のとおりです。
- 固定勤務時間
- 直接監督
- 独占的な雇用契約
- 一つの会社への継続的な依存
誤分類のリスク
従業員を請負業者として誤って分類すると、チリでは重大な違約金が発生します。
以下のとおりです。
- Retroactive social security contributions
- 法定給付金の遡及支払い
- Labor court fines and penalties
