Employees are a company’s most important asset. Recruiting and hiring the right talent, then onboarding them successfully, can be difficult in another country, especially if you’re running numerous company locations, learning Paraguay’s employment compliance laws, and more.
Instead of waiting months to set up your subsidiary in Paraguay, G-P has a better alternative. Thanks to our global entity infrastructure, companies can start hiring in minutes, not months.
Recrutamento no Paraguai
The first step in any hiring venture is knowing where to find the best candidates. Some of the top job sites in the country include BuscoJobs and Opción Empleo. You can also advertise open positions in the Última Hora, one of the most popular newspapers.
Your Paraguay recruiting process will also depend on whether you want to hire local or international employees. International employees will need a work permit to work in the country and a concrete job offer from an employer before getting a visa.
Verificações jurídicas e de antecedentes
Before hiring a candidate, companies may want to perform certain background checks. Employers may conduct background checks, under certain circumstances, for aspects such as:
- formação educacional;
- Criminal records
- Health checks
- Experience
- Permission to work
- Mídias sociais
Keep in mind that employers may not seek credit information of a candidate in Paraguay.
Laws against discrimination in Paraguay
The Constitution and Labor Code in Paraguay prohibit discrimination against an applicant or an employee on the basis of ethnicity, sex, age, religion, social status, or political or union preference. Companies should not ask any questions related to these protected categories during the interview process.
How to hire employees in Paraguay
If you’re wondering how to hire employees in Paraguay, remember that it’s best to start with an employment contract. Although not required by law, we recommend drafting a written contract in Spanish. The employment contract should spell out the terms of the employment relationship, including compensation, benefits, working hours, bonuses, and more. Compensation amounts should be in Paraguayan guaraní instead of another currency.
Paraguay employment laws
Paraguay’s employment laws allow probation periods. Unskilled workers can have a trial period of up to 30 days, while skilled workers can have one for up to 60 days. For extremely technical positions, a longer probationary period of up to 90 days can be negotiated.
Os funcionários normalmente trabalham uma 48-hour semana e devem ser pagos por quaisquer horas adicionais. Although collective bargaining is allowed for terms such as overtime, only 4% of the nation’s workforce uses a Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA).
Integração no Paraguai
During the onboarding process, we recommend reviewing the employment contract with new hires on their first day or week of employment. Providing a training program for employees that’s specific to their position is also helpful.
