Justworks covers the world. We cover LATAM.
Justworks operates across 25 countries globally. We operate in 19 LATAM countries exclusively, so every process, contract, and payroll cycle is built for this region.
Why pick a LATAM specialist over a global generalist?
Justworks is a strong platform. It handles payroll and benefits well for US-based companies, and it has expanded into global EOR. But global EOR built on top of a US PEO product is a different thing from a platform designed for LATAM from the start.
Our verified data shows Justworks has confirmed EOR coverage in 8 of the 19 LATAM countries we serve. That leaves Bolivia, Venezuela, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Paraguay, the Dominican Republic, and Argentina with no verified coverage in their dataset. If your hiring plan touches any of those markets, you are working around their gaps, not through them.
When LATAM is where your team is growing, you need a provider whose entire operation is oriented around that region. Statutory contributions, locally compliant employment contracts, 13th-month obligations, severance funds like Brazil's FGTS, and country-specific onboarding timelines are not edge cases for us. They are the whole job.
Four numbers that tell the story
on nineteen countries.
A specialist's tradeoff: less reach, more depth. Here is what that actually translates to when you start onboarding people.
Every country we serve is in Latin America. No dilution across other regions.
Workers can be onboarded and live on payroll within 72 hours of contract approval.
Pricing varies by country and team size. Justworks EOR starts at around $599 per employee per month.
Locally compliant employment contracts and statutory contributions handled in every country we operate in.
Five places focus shows up
This table is short on purpose. We are not trying to win on feature count. We are showing the five dimensions where regional focus produces a different result.
Pick by what you actually need, not by feature count. not by feature count.
You are running CLT contracts in Brazil or navigating IMSS enrollment in Mexico and need a provider whose entire operation is built around exactly that.
You need EOR primarily in the US or Western Europe, with occasional LATAM hires as a secondary consideration.
Questions worth asking before you decide
These are the three questions we hear most from teams evaluating us against Justworks.
What happens if I need to hire in a country you do not cover?
Our 19 countries cover the core of Latin America. If you need to hire outside that footprint, we will tell you honestly whether we can help. LATAM is our specialty; we will not overcommit on markets where we cannot deliver.
How do I know your team actually understands LATAM compliance?
Every contract, payroll run, and statutory filing we handle is for a LATAM country. We are not context-switching between dozens of global regions. Aguinaldo calculations in Mexico, FGTS deposits in Brazil, and AFP contributions in Chile are routine operations for us, not exceptions.
What does switching from Justworks actually cost me?
The main switching cost is timing. We align contract takeovers to your existing payroll calendar so there is no gap in coverage or double billing. Most teams complete the transition within one payroll cycle. There are no long-term lock-in contracts on our end.
What switching from Justworks looks like
Step one: review your current payroll calendar.
We map your existing pay dates and statutory contribution schedules so the transition aligns with your cycle, not against it. This usually takes a single working day and requires only your current contract terms and payroll run dates.
Step two: we take over contracts at the next cycle.
Locally compliant employment contracts are issued under our entity for each worker. Your employees see no gap in pay or benefits. Statutory contributions continue without interruption.
Step three: your first LATAM payroll runs through us.
Payroll runs in local currency, statutory deductions are filed, and you receive a single consolidated invoice. From that point, you manage the work and we handle the compliance.
Nineteen countries. A guide for each one.
Every country we cover has a 6-section hiring guide on contracts, payroll, taxes, leave, severance, and recent legal changes. That depth is what focus actually means.
