Honduras has a comprehensive public healthcare system. However, many employers do choose to offer private medical insurance as part of their benefits packages.
Honduras has relatively complex minimum wage regulations, with the mandatory minimum rates varying greatly depending on the type of work and the size of the company. For instance, the agricultural sector’s minimum wage is HNL 9,193.70 per month. For this reason, it is important to determine exactly which rate applies to your employees when hiring in the country.
Many employees in Honduras choose to offer their employees benefits packages, including things such as extra pension contributions, a company car allowance, paid vacation days, a holiday bonus, and so on.

Outsourcing your benefit management process ensures that you fully understand and adhere to the rules, ensuring your compliance and speeding up the process significantly.
