Grow your team in Haiti with Remote
You can pay contractors now in Haiti with Remote in some currencies (talk to a Remote expert now for more details).
Note that we are busy developing our EOR product to legally operate in Haiti and provide you with the best possible experience for your team, but we are not yet ready to employ in Haiti.
Companies hiring in Haiti are typically required to either own a legal entity in the country or work with a global employment solutions provider to employ on the company's behalf. Developing the processes required to manage payroll, benefits, taxes, and onboarding in countries like Haiti can get complicated fast, especially without localized expertise. If you’re looking to start hiring in a country like this, using a global HR platform like Remote makes it easy to hire workers in full compliance with all local legislation. In the countries where we do offer our Employer of Record product, Remote takes on responsibility for compliance so you can focus on hiring great talent and growing your business.
Risks of misclassification
Haiti, like many other countries, treats self-employed individuals or contractors and full-time employees differently. Misclassification of contractors in Haiti may lead to fines and penalties for the offending company.
