SKILL 08 · Everyday life
Check work documents and employment terms
Separate immigration permission to work from employment rights, and prepare a document-based checklist for an offer or employment relationship in Chile.
What you need
- Actual residence permission, certificate or special work authorisation and any relevant decision
- Job offer or contract, employer identity and proposed workplace
- Role, pay, schedule, start date and contract duration as stated in the documents
- Payslips, contribution records or work communications if employment has already begun
- Any professional licence or qualification needed for the proposed role
What you can prepare
- Evidence inventory and separate work-authorisation and employment-terms checklists
- Contract observation memo labelled DRAFT NOT SUBMITTED
- Editable questions for the employer, SERMIG or Dirección del Trabajo, without transmitting them
FICTIONAL PRACTICE CASE
Try it before using real records.
Fictional case: Samir has a job offer and a screenshot showing that a residence application was created. The skill does not treat that screenshot as work authorisation. It asks for the issued certificate or permission and reviews the offer's pay, schedule and duties separately.
Check the result
- Work authorisation is assessed from the actual document and current SERMIG guidance, not a bare application
- Employment terms are checked independently of migration status
- Any numerical pay or working-time conclusion has a current official source and case assumptions
- The memo identifies uncertain clauses and professional-licensing issues without promising enforceability
Keep preparation and filing separate.
Documents produced are DRAFT — NOT SUBMITTED until reviewed and actually filed. The skill does not access accounts, submit applications, pay fees or represent you. Current official requirements and the actual notice must be checked for your case. English materials are not certified translations.
