How is the English?

Do I hire as a contractor or through an EOR?
Fewer public holidays than most of LatAm, but statutory benefits (aguinaldo, vacation premium) are significant. For a first hire, most small US companies start with a direct independent-contractor agreement and move to an EOR if the relationship becomes employment-shaped — our compliance guide covers the line.
