Contractor or employer of record: which model applies?
Most Colombian engineers work as independent contractors. BEON handles the contracts, invoicing and compliance; an employer-of-record setup is available if you prefer formal employment.
Currency and payments
You pay BEON one USD invoice. We handle local payment in Colombian pesos, so you never touch FX, local banking or tax withholding.
Notice periods and flexibility
BEON contracts carry a 30-day termination notice, with no severance obligations on the contractor model. You only pay for active talent.
Holidays and PTO
Colombia observes around 18 public holidays per year, one of the highest counts anywhere. BEON coordinates vacation planning with your roadmap so coverage is never a surprise.
IP protection
Every engagement includes IP assignment and NDA under US-enforceable contracts. Colombia is a WIPO and TRIPS signatory, so your code stays yours.
