Remote covers the world. We cover LATAM.
Remote runs payroll in 186 countries. We run payroll in 19. If LATAM is where your team is building, that difference matters.
Why pick a LATAM specialist over a global generalist?
Remote is a serious platform. It covers 186 countries, has thousands of reviews, and works well for companies hiring across multiple continents. That breadth is a real advantage if your hiring is genuinely global.
But breadth has a cost. When you are hiring in Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, and Argentina at the same time, you need someone who knows CLT contracts, IMSS contributions, severance funds, and aguinaldo calculations without having to look them up. A platform optimized for 186 countries spreads its operational attention thin. LATAM is one region among dozens.
Employ Latam covers 19 LATAM countries and nothing else. Every process we have built, every payroll cycle we run, every locally compliant contract we issue is pointed at this region. When your hiring center of gravity is LATAM, focus beats reach.
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. Mexico to Argentina, Caribbean to the Southern Cone.
Locally compliant employment contract issued and worker onboarded within 72 hours of signing off.
Pricing varies by country and team size. Remote's published rate starts at around $599 per employee per month.
Payroll runs in local currency in every country. Statutory contributions handled per local law.
Five places focus shows up
This table is short on purpose. We are not trying to out-feature Remote. We are showing where a LATAM-only focus produces a different outcome.
Pick by what you actually need, not by feature count. not by feature count.
You are tired of explaining Brazil's eSocial requirements or Mexico's IMSS structure to a support team that covers every continent.
You are hiring across Europe, Asia, and LATAM simultaneously and want one platform and one invoice for all of it.
Questions worth asking before you decide
Here are the three questions we hear most often from companies comparing Employ Latam to Remote.
What if I need to hire outside LATAM?
LATAM is our specialty and where we do our best work. If you have an occasional hire outside the region, we can sometimes still help, but it is not our core offering. If your hiring is genuinely spread across multiple continents, a global platform may serve you better.
How do you handle complex LATAM payroll situations?
Because every payroll we run is in LATAM, our processes are built around the region's specifics: CLT contracts in Brazil, IMSS and INFONAVIT in Mexico, AFP contributions in Chile, and FGTS calculations in Brazil, among others. Statutory contributions are handled as part of the standard service, not as edge cases.
Is switching from Remote expensive or disruptive?
Switching cost is mostly about timing, not fees. We align the transition to your existing payroll calendar so workers experience no gap in pay or benefits. The process typically takes one to two payroll cycles to complete cleanly. We walk you through it step by step.
What switching from Remote looks like
Review your payroll calendar first.
Before anything else, map out your next two payroll dates for each LATAM country. That timing determines when the transition happens. We use those dates to plan the handover so no worker misses a payment or loses benefit continuity.
We take over contracts at the next cycle.
We issue locally compliant employment contracts for each worker in their country. Statutory contributions, benefits, and any country-specific obligations carry over correctly. Workers sign new contracts; the practical day-to-day of their role does not change.
Your first LATAM payroll runs through us on schedule.
Once contracts are in place, payroll runs in local currency on your normal cycle. You get a single consolidated invoice. From that point, all LATAM statutory filings, contributions, and compliance obligations are handled on our side.
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.
