Payroll & payments

Colombian labor law requires an employee's salary to be paid in legal tender. For independent contractors and foreign payers, the framework is entirely different.

Paying international payroll by wire is not the same problem as paying a supplier: dozens of recurring small payments, a cutoff date that cannot move, and the worker absorbing the cost. Here is who really pays each layer.

Hiring on a service contract instead of payroll is a different regime. Who contributes, how the contribution base works, what the UGPP audits, and where USDC or peso payouts fit.

A Brazilian company paying contractors abroad absorbs IOF, spread and fees, then waits business days. Paying in USDC settles in minutes, yet stays inside the FX market and the same tax perimeter.
