HR Advisory

Hire employees, set up payroll, and stay compliant with local employment law once your LATAM entity is formed.

Hiring employees in Latin America means operating under the local jurisdiction's own employment law, including its own contract requirements, mandatory benefits, termination rules, and payroll obligations, from the day of your first hire. This is different from using an employer of record, and only applies once you have your own entity: hiring through your own LATAM entity means your company, not a third-party EOR, carries the employment relationship and its obligations directly.

NavviPal's HR advisory supports your entity through hiring, payroll setup, and ongoing employment law compliance, so your local team is hired and paid correctly from the first payroll cycle.

What's included:

Advisory on local employment contract requirements and mandatory benefits
Payroll setup for your entity, including registration with local labor and social security authorities
Ongoing payroll processing coordination through the NavviPal platform
Guidance on local termination rules and severance obligations
Employment law compliance monitoring as local regulations change
Advisory on the entity-plus-HR-advisory route versus an employer of record for teams that have already chosen to incorporate

When this applies

Once your LATAM entity is formed and you are ready to hire directly through it, rather than through a third-party employer of record

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between HR advisory and an employer of record (EOR)?

An employer of record hires staff on your behalf under its own entity, without you needing a local company. HR advisory applies once you already have your own LATAM entity: your company is the legal employer, and NavviPal advises on hiring, payroll, and compliance for employees on your own payroll rather than a third party's.

Do we need a local entity before you can help us hire?

Yes. HR advisory is built around employing staff directly through your own LATAM entity. If you have not yet formed an entity, an employer of record or NavviPal's company formation service are the relevant starting points instead.

What employment obligations does NavviPal help with?

NavviPal advises on local contract requirements, mandatory benefits, payroll registration, ongoing payroll processing coordination, and termination and severance rules, all specific to the jurisdiction where your entity is registered.

How is payroll set up for a new LATAM entity?

Payroll setup involves registering your entity with the relevant local labor and social security authorities and establishing a compliant payroll process before your first hire's start date. Requirements and timelines vary by country.

Can HR advisory support employees across multiple LATAM countries?

Yes, for each country where you have a NavviPal-supported entity. Employment law, mandatory benefits, and payroll rules are set at the country level, so advisory is structured per jurisdiction rather than as a single regional policy.
