EMPLOYER OF RECORD SERVICES IN LATIN AMERICA

Your First International Hire Needs an Owned Hire, Not a Recruiting Vendor

You found the right person. They are ready to start. The team is excited. Then the questions begin. Who is the legal employer? How is payroll processed? What benefits are required by the country? What happens if the role changes, the employee relocates, or the engagement ends? Who owns the role: the hire, the manager, the country, the partner?

THE PROBLEM

International hiring gets complicated when the offer letter is ready, but the role ownership is not.

What looks like one hire can quickly turn into country-specific questions around contracts, payroll, benefits, taxes, termination rules, and worker classification.

Employment paperwork — covered (mostly)

Contracts, payroll, benefits, statutory filings — most EOR vendors cover this layer. Coverage is the table-stakes; it is not the differentiator.

Country compliance — partially covered

Local labor code, mandatory benefits, severance accruals, 13th-month pay. Some vendors cover this. Few own it by name. Coverage is uneven across the country stack.

Entities take months, not days

Setting up a local legal entity is the right move eventually, but not when you are still validating the hire, the role, or the country. EOR is the stage that bridges the gap.

Contractor shortcuts become legal exposure

Misclassification is the most common way international hires go wrong. A contract on its own does not protect you. The employment structure underneath it does.

Role ownership across the full employment lifecycle

Onboarding, performance review, compliance lifecycle, exit, and replacement — the layers that turn a hire into a role. When these are not owned, the hire becomes a seat and the manager becomes the back office.

  • Manages daily work and priorities
  • Approves hiring decisions and changes

TN OUTSOURCING

  • Coordinates compliant employment setup
  • Supports onboarding, payroll, and HR administration
  • Acts as a single point of coordination across countries

EMPLOYEE
