FAQ
Employer of Record in Panama: what everyone asks
What is an Employer of Record?
It’s a company that legally employs staff on your behalf: we are the employer before MITRADEL and the CSS, and you direct the day-to-day work. You decide who works and how; we answer for contracts, payroll and compliance.
Are you a Panamanian company?
Yes, 100% Panamanian. Panama’s labor laws are our own — we live them every day, we don’t study them from afar. And we work to international standards for global consortiums and companies.
Are the workers insured and fully compliant?
Always. Every worker gets a contract registered with MITRADEL, enrollment in the Social Security (CSS) and all legal benefits from day one.
How much does it cost?
Every operation is different, so we quote case by case. Schedule a call and we’ll prepare a clear proposal, no strings attached.
Can you recruit the staff for me?
Yes. We source, screen and select the people you need — from full crews to technical roles — at no extra cost for outsourcing clients.
I don’t want to deal with MITRADEL or the CSS — do you handle that?
That’s exactly why we exist. Registrations, contracts, enrollments, payments and any filing before MITRADEL and the Social Security (CSS) are on us — your company never wastes time on that paperwork again.
Do you work with foreign companies without an office in Panama?
Yes — it’s our specialty: we act as your legal employer in Panama so you can operate from day one, without incorporating or building an HR department.
