Brazil is expensive and complex to employ in: CLT payroll charges, the 13th salary and vacation bonus typically add 50% or more to salary, and labour claims are common. Setting up your own company is slow, so many companies use an EOR well beyond the first hire.
The best Brazilian EOR is the one with a solid local entity, strong union and benefits knowledge, and a clear position on who bears the cost of labour claims.
- 1
Own Brazilian entity
Ask whether the provider employs through its own entity or a partner in Brazil.
- 2
Union and benefits knowledge
Collective agreements set salary floors and benefits. Meal vouchers and health plans are standard.
- 3
Labour-claim handling
Ask who bears the cost of labour claims and how time records are kept.
- 4
Termination costs
Check how notice, accrued benefits and the 40% FGTS penalty are billed.
