What does EOR cost in Colombia?

EOR is billed as a monthly per-employee fee covering payroll, employment contracts, and statutory filings. The rate shown on this page is the starting point; the exact fee depends on role, seniority, and extras such as work permits.

How long does onboarding take via EOR in Colombia?

Once we have the role details and employee information, onboarding typically takes 1–3 weeks — much faster than incorporating a local entity, which often takes 3–6 months.

Can I terminate an EOR employee in Colombia?

Yes. You instruct; we remain the legal employer and run notice, severance, and process according to local labour law and the employment contract.

What is the notice period in Colombia?

Statutory notice depends on tenure and the contract. We apply the legal minimum plus any contractual terms when you request a termination.

Do I need a local entity to hire in Colombia?

No. EOR exists so you can hire without incorporating. We are the legal employer of record; your team manages the day-to-day work.

Why choose Gini Talent as your EOR in Colombia?
