Guatemala Compliance

Compliance in Guatemala centers on the Guatemalan Labor Code and the Guatemalan Social Security Institute (IGSS). Employers must contribute approximately 10-20% for social security, pensions, and other statutory benefits, with a standard monthly payroll cycle. A key risk for foreign companies is misclassifying workers, leading to severe penalties from the Ministry of Labor. PayDD's EOR service acts as the legal employer, assuming all liability. We ensure correct classification, manage IGSS registrations and filings, and guarantee timely, accurate payments, fully mitigating this compliance exposure.

Case Study

A US-based renewable energy firm needed to deploy three engineers to a project in Guatemala but faced complex visa sponsorship and slow, expensive payroll via international SWIFT transfers. Using PayDD's EOR service, they secured work permits and compliant local contracts within days. PayDD manages all monthly payroll in GTQ, leveraging T+0 instant settlement for salaries, eliminating SWIFT fees and delays. This resulted in a 40% reduction in administrative costs and ensured full compliance with IGSS and local labor regulations.
