Rippling covers the world. We cover LATAM.
Rippling runs payroll in 83 countries. We run payroll in 19. If LATAM is where your team is growing, that difference matters.
Why pick a LATAM specialist over a global platform?
Rippling is a strong platform. It handles HR, IT, and payroll across 83 countries, and it does that well for companies with globally distributed headcount. But that breadth comes with trade-offs. When you need to hire in Brazil, Colombia, or Mexico, you are one market among dozens they serve.
Employ Latam covers 19 LATAM countries and nothing else. That means every process we have built, every contract template we maintain, and every payroll cycle we run is oriented around this region. Brazil's CLT framework, Mexico's IMSS contributions, Argentina's severance rules, Colombia's mandatory benefits: these are not edge cases for us. They are the whole job.
Rippling's verified EOR coverage reaches 12 of the 19 countries we serve. If your hiring plan includes Bolivia, the Dominican Republic, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Paraguay, or Venezuela, you will need to confirm whether they can actually help. We cover all 19. Focus beats reach when LATAM is your center of gravity.
Four numbers that show what focus looks like
on nineteen countries.
A specialist's tradeoff: less reach, more depth. Here is what that actually translates to when you start onboarding people.
All 19 countries, including markets where Rippling's coverage is unverified. One region, fully covered.
Locally compliant employment contract ready and worker onboarded within 72 hours of engagement.
Pricing varies by country and team size. Rippling's EOR starts at around $499 per employee per month.
Payroll runs in local currency. Social security, income tax, and mandatory benefits are calculated and filed per country.
Five places where focus shows up
This table is short on purpose. We are not trying to out-feature a platform that also manages laptops and single sign-on. We are showing where regional focus produces a different outcome.
Pick by what you actually need, not by feature count. not by feature count.
You are tired of explaining to a generalist platform why a Brazilian CLT contract is not optional.
You need one platform to manage HR, IT access, and payroll for a team spread across multiple continents, not just LATAM.
Questions worth asking before you decide
These are the questions we hear most often from teams comparing us to Rippling.
What if I need to hire outside LATAM?
LATAM is our specialty. If you have occasional hires outside the region, we can sometimes still help, but it is not what we are built for. If most of your hiring is in LATAM with a few outliers elsewhere, talk to us and we will be honest about where we can and cannot add value.
Can a LATAM-only provider actually handle complex markets like Brazil or Argentina?
That is exactly the point. Brazil's eSocial reporting, Argentina's inflation-adjusted payroll, and Colombia's layered mandatory benefits are not edge cases we escalate. They are standard operations for us. Locally compliant employment contracts and statutory contributions are handled for every country we cover, every payroll cycle.
How does pricing work, and what does switching cost?
Our EOR pricing starts from $349 per employee per month, varying by country and team size. Switching from Rippling typically means aligning to your next payroll cycle, transferring contract responsibility, and running your first payroll through us. There is no long lock-in. We can walk you through the timeline before you commit to anything.
What switching from Rippling looks like
Review your payroll calendar first.
Before anything changes, we map your current pay cycles by country so there are no gaps in contributions or worker payments during the transition. This step usually takes a few days and requires only basic payroll data from your current setup.
We take over contracts at your next cycle.
Locally compliant employment contracts are issued under Employ Latam as the employer of record, timed to align with the end of your current billing period with Rippling. Workers see continuity. Statutory contributions, benefits, and currency do not change from their perspective.
Your first LATAM payroll runs through us.
From that point, payroll runs in local currency, statutory filings are handled, and your team in LATAM is fully onboarded under our coverage. You manage the work. We handle the employment.
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.
Talk to us before you decide.
