Employee relations in Chile are governed by several laws which collectively form what is known locally as the labour code, updated most recently in 2021. The relationship is always formal and must be carried out under a contract of employment which must be signed and in force within a specific time frame. The contract can be indefinite, fixed term or until completion of a specific task or project.<\/p>\n
Chilean workers have the right to form or belong to a trade union. Currently about 10% of the total workforce is unionised. Most unionised workers are from industries such as mining, construction, infrastructure, transport, ports, retail, and the public sector including education.<\/p>\n
The normal working week is 45 hours spread over 5 or 6 days. Workers are entitled to 15 days paid holiday after completing 12 months in employment. They are also entitled to paid sick leave and paid maternity\/paternity leave. A minimum wage is set each year, linked to the inflation level of the previous year. As from 1st January 2022 it was set at $350.000 clp roughly equivalent to \u00a3304.00 on that date. Different rates apply for workers aged under 18 and over 65.<\/p>\n
Contracted employees have automatic deductions from their pay for health insurance, pension contributions, unemployment, and other insurances. Companies must share a percentage of their profits every year with their employees within a predefined formula.<\/p>\n
Another requirement is that at least 85% of a company\u2019s workforce must be Chilean nationals unless the company employs fewer than 25 people.<\/p>\n
