Chile

Chilean work culture is professional and somewhat formal, with respect for hierarchy. Personal relationships are important but business tends to be more structured than in other Latin American countries. Remote work adoption has increased significantly, especially in the tech sector.

Employment law provides strong protections with mandatory severance (indemnización). The labor code distinguishes clearly between employees and contractors. Freelancers issue boletas de honorarios. International companies often use EOR services for compliant hiring in Chile.
