Three things you won't find on any other Chile EOR guide
- Chile has no general probation period. Most countries let you trial a new hire for a month or three. Chile does not. The only trial period in the law is two weeks, and it applies to domestic workers alone (Código del Trabajo Art. 147). Every other employee has full protection from day one. Most EOR guides skip this and leave US buyers planning a probation that does not exist.
- The working week is in the middle of a legal cut. Ley 21.561 took the maximum ordinary week to 42 hours on 26 April
