Key Payroll and Employment Trends and Stats in the Latin America

Human Resource (HR) strategy work in Latin America is in high demand, with payroll being the key focus. To gain efficiency in their current Latin American (LATAM) operations, an increasing number of global and regional corporations are consolidating administration or shifting to shared services.

• The LATAM payroll market is rapidly developing.
  Several years ago, Latin American in-country payroll providers used heterogeneous systems that were only cost efficient due to low-priced labor pools. Companies in LATAM are currently focusing on automating and consolidating payroll.
• Employers in the United States desire to spread their shared services beyond their borders.
  In addition, many firms who have implemented a Global Business Services model in Finance and IT are wanting to expand their assistance to back-office activities such as payroll.
• New labor rules add to the complication.
  Legislative changes are regular in Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, and other LATAM nations, necessitating modifications to HR administration, compensation calculations, and payroll regulatory reporting, all of which are complicated and prone to ambiguity. Hiring LATAM payroll providers for assistance with tax services, banking, and gross-to-net processing and reporting may be quite beneficial in such situations.
• According to Gallup's State of the Worldwide Workplace: 2021 Report, 45 percent of people in the region say the epidemic has had a substantial impact on their lives, and the proportion of employees who have lost their jobs or businesses (31%) is close to the global average.
• Over half of those working in Latin America and the Caribbean during the outbreak lost pay (57%) and worked fewer hours (57%) while 58% temporarily stopped working.
