Velocity Global covers the world. We cover LATAM.
Velocity Global runs payroll in 185+ countries. We run payroll in 19. If LATAM is where you are hiring, that difference works in your favor.
Why pick a LATAM specialist over a global generalist?
Velocity Global is built to serve companies hiring everywhere at once. That is a real product for a real need. But when your hiring is concentrated in Latin America, a platform optimized for 185 countries spreads its attention thin across every region equally.
LATAM has its own compliance texture. Brazil's CLT framework and eSocial reporting, Mexico's IMSS contributions and profit-sharing (PTU), Argentina's layered severance rules, Colombia's mandatory benefits like the cesantías fund. These are not edge cases. They are the day-to-day operational reality of hiring in the region. A generalist EOR handles them. A LATAM-focused EOR builds around them.
We cover 19 countries across Central America, South America, and the Caribbean. Every contract, every payroll cycle, every statutory contribution is calibrated to that region. You get faster answers on LATAM questions because LATAM is the only question we answer.

Five places focus shows up
We are not trying to out-feature a global platform. These five dimensions are where the LATAM-only focus produces a concrete difference.
Pick by what you actually need, not by feature count. not by feature count.
You have a Brazilian CLT hire pending and no patience for explaining eSocial to a support team juggling queries from Singapore to Stockholm.
You are scaling a distributed team across multiple continents and need a single vendor to handle employment in Europe, Asia, and LATAM under one contract.
Questions worth asking before you decide
Here are the three questions we hear most often from companies evaluating us against Velocity Global.
What if I need to hire outside LATAM?
LATAM is our specialty and where we perform best. If you have occasional hires outside the region, we can sometimes still help, but it is not what we are built for. If your hiring is genuinely split across multiple continents, a global EOR may be a better fit for that portion of your team.
Can a LATAM-only provider handle complex cases, or do I need a bigger platform?
Complexity in LATAM hiring usually comes from local rules: Argentina's inflation-adjusted severance, Brazil's eSocial filings, Mexico's bimonthly IMSS cycles. Those are exactly the cases we handle every day. A larger platform handles them too, but you are one of many regions on their queue. With us, every case is a LATAM case.
Is it expensive or difficult to switch from Velocity Global?
Switching is straightforward when timed to a payroll cycle. We review your existing contracts, take over at the next cycle, and run the first payroll through us. Most transitions complete without a gap in worker pay. Pricing starts from $349, so the cost difference often offsets any switching effort quickly.
What switching from Velocity Global looks like
Review your payroll calendar.
Before anything else, map your current payroll run dates for each LATAM country. This sets the transition window and prevents any overlap in contributions or duplicate filings during the handover period.
Take over contracts at the next cycle.
We issue locally compliant employment contracts for each worker timed to your next payroll cycle. Statutory benefits, contributions, and any country-specific obligations like FGTS in Brazil or cesantías in Colombia carry over correctly from day one.
First LATAM payroll runs through us.
Once contracts are in place, payroll runs in local currency through our system. Workers are paid on schedule, statutory contributions are filed, and your team has a single point of contact for every LATAM country on your roster.
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.
