\"\"<\/p>\n

When addressing the role of foreigners in the Chilean workforce, we find the main belief that all companies have a limit of foreign workers who can work within it.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s important to clarify that the current chilean legislation\u00a0on the matter, when regulating the number of foreign workers who can serve the same employer,\u00a0indicates that 85% of their workers must be chilean, thus leaving space for 15% of foreign workers within the company.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s\u00a0necessary to add, that this\u00a0rule is only applicable\u00a0to those employers who\u00a0have more than 25 workers. That is, if a company has 10\u00a0workers\u00a0it isn\u2019t limited in terms of the number of\u00a0foreign\u00a0workers\u00a0it can hire, so the 10\u00a0workers\u00a0can all be foreigners.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, if the company had 100 workers, only 15 could be foreigners.<\/p>\n

Our\u00a0Labor law\u00a0gives us the rules to follow, and also gives us the exceptions.\u00a0It is\u00a0important to note that even if a company has a number greater than 25 workers, these exceptions will apply, counting as a Chilean worker those who, being foreigners, meet any of these following conditions:<\/p>\n

1<\/em>\u00a0.- The<\/em>\u00a0specialist technical staff will be excluded;<\/em><\/p>\n

2<\/em>\u00a0.-<\/em>\u00a0\u00a0A foreigner whose spouse or domestic partner or children are Chilean or who is widowed or widowed of a Chilean spouse shall be considered a Chilean citizen.<\/em><\/p>\n

3<\/em>\u00a0.-<\/em>\u00a0Foreigners residing for more than five years in the country will also be considered as Chileans, without taking into account any accidental absences.<\/em><\/p>\n

Also, to calculate the number of\u00a0workers of a company,\u00a0the total of workers is considered\u00a0within the national territory, not that of the different branches separately.<\/p>\n

We conclude reminding that this information could be modified if any of the bills that have been presented on the matter move forward in congress.\u00a0These projects vary in their scope,\u00a0some seek the elimination of the distinction between Chileans and foreigners, others propose the decrease of the percentage of Chilean workers required, and others increase the exceptions of article 20 already indicated.\u00a0Yet, so far, none of these projects has had major legislative impact or generated greater interest in its processing. Be confident that we will inform future modifications in our website.<\/p>\n
