Panama Compliance

Compliance in Panama is governed by the Labor Code and supervised by the Social Security Fund (CSS) and MITRADEL. Employer contributions to social security and pensions typically range from 10-20% of salary, with the standard payroll cycle being monthly. A key risk for foreign employers is misclassifying contractors, which can lead to severe penalties and back-payments. PayDD's EOR solution acts as the legal employer of record, assuming all liability. We ensure correct classification, manage mandatory CSS registrations, and guarantee timely, accurate filings and payments to mitigate this risk entirely.

Case Study

A US-based SaaS company needed to hire a sales lead in Panama but faced a 6-month timeline to establish a legal entity. Using PayDD's EOR service, they bypassed entity setup completely. PayDD managed the full compliance lifecycle under Panamanian law, from the AI-powered KYC to monthly payroll in PAB. The employee was onboarded in 48 hours instead of 6 months, and the company saved over 70% in initial legal and administrative costs while gaining immediate market presence.
