Lundi supports compliant employment in Jamaica for specialist hires — particularly Kingston-based BPO and customer success serving US East Coast. English-native at lower cost than Costa Rica. For broader Caribbean and Latin American scaling we typically recommend Costa Rica, Colombia, or Philippines.
Jamaica has built a growing English-language BPO and customer success sector concentrated in Kingston and Montego Bay. English is native (Jamaican Patois exists alongside Standard English; professional roles operate in Standard English). Jamaican dollar (JMD) is the local currency. Employer social contributions are moderate. Full US East Coast time-zone overlap. Strong fit for specialist customer success and BPO operations at lower cost than Costa Rica. For broader Latin American scaling Lundi typically recommends Costa Rica (deeper tech), Colombia (deeper everything), or Philippines (broader BPO ecosystem).
What it costs to employ someone through Lundi.
Lundi's cost is the all-in cost of the employee — gross salary plus statutory employer contributions plus customary benefits — and a Lundi management fee on top. The management fee depends on team size and scope: smaller teams pay a higher per-head rate, teams of 20+ get materially better unit economics, and Build–Operate–Transfer engagements are structured separately.
The alternative paths look like: setting up your own local entity (meaningful months of legal and accounting work, plus ongoing in-country HR, payroll, and compliance infrastructure), engaging a local recruitment agency on contingency (typically a percentage of first-year compensation, paid once, with no ongoing employment relationship), or hiring as a contractor (lower upfront cost, real misclassification risk in most jurisdictions). Lundi is faster than entity setup, structurally different from contingency recruitment, and lower-risk than contractor arrangements.

EOR platforms employ individuals for you. Lundi recruits, employs, and operates concentrated teams — including day-to-day management, HR, and an optional path to your own entity. It's the operating model for companies that have outgrown the EOR ceiling.
