How do the scores and fees compare?

Expected provider fees are planning estimates on USD 6,000 monthly payroll. The model adds 2% FX and a 1% reserve for occasional provider fees unless confirmed terms differ. Salary, employer costs and deposits are separate. Starting prices and contract conditions remain as published; these are not country-specific quotes.

Before you choose

Your Brazil hiring questions, answered.

Updated

How does an employer of record hire employees in Brazil under CLT?

The Brazilian employing company hires the worker under CLT, registers the employment and operates local payroll, statutory benefits and employment records. The client funds the agreed service but must understand the legal arrangement behind it.

A CLT contract does not by itself validate every labour-supply model: distinguish a compliant outsourced service from statutory temporary work and record the parties’ actual responsibilities.

Sources: Brazilian Consolidation of Labour Laws (CLT) · eSocial: employer manual · Law 6.019: temporary work and outsourcing

What do FGTS, INSS, the 13th salary and vacation bonus add to a Brazilian salary through an EOR?

Budget for the thirteenth salary and the one-third holiday supplement, as well as employer payroll charges. Ordinary FGTS is 8% of relevant remuneration; general employer INSS is 20%, with accident and third-party contributions and possible regime-specific differences.

Paid holiday salary normally sits within the twelve-month salary budget; adding another full month on top can double-count it. The EOR fee and contractual benefits are separate.

Sources: Labour Ministry: employee rights · FGTS rules · PwC: Brazilian employer social costs (commentary) · Law 8.212: social security funding

Is hiring PJ contractors in Brazil riskier than using an EOR for CLT employees?

PJ contracting carries classification risk when the real relationship is employment, but it is not automatically unlawful. CLT employment addresses that classification prospectively and brings employee entitlements and payroll costs.

Brazil’s courts continue to examine the boundary between lawful commercial arrangements and disguised employment. Assess the work’s actual control and independence; changing the contract label or using an EOR does not settle historic exposure.

Sources: Brazilian Consolidation of Labour Laws (CLT) · STF: contractor litigation, June 2026

How does eSocial registration work for an EOR employee in Brazil?

The actual Brazilian employer sends the admission to eSocial, normally through S-2200 before the employee starts. S-2190 can provide preliminary admission information when the full event will follow within the applicable deadline.

The CPF, admission date, contract and payroll details must be consistent. Obtain confirmation from the EOR before the start date; a signed commercial service agreement is not evidence that employment registration has been completed.

Sources: eSocial: employer manual · eSocial: admission questions · Brazilian Consolidation of Labour Laws (CLT)

What is the total employer cost of a CLT employee in São Paulo through an EOR?

For an illustrative R$13,500 monthly salary, annual cash remuneration is R$180,000: twelve salaries, one thirteenth salary and a R$4,500 holiday supplement. Assuming ordinary employer INSS at 20%, FGTS at 8% and combined accident/third-party charges at 6.8%, employer charges add R$62,640.

An assumed R$3,000 monthly EOR fee brings the planning total to R$278,640 before additional benefits and termination costs.

The 6.8% input assumes 1% accident risk after the applicable adjustment and 5.8% third-party charges. These are model inputs, not a universal São Paulo or EOR rate. Replace them with the employing entity’s tax regime and risk classification. This steady-year example includes paid leave within the twelve salaries and does not add cover-worker costs.

What is the 40% FGTS penalty when terminating a Brazilian employee through an EOR?

For dismissal without just cause, the employer generally deposits an additional 40% of the FGTS deposits attributable to the employment, with the statutory adjustments.

It is not 40% of salary and is not calculated only from the employee’s remaining withdrawable balance. The EOR must reconcile the termination calculation, including deposits still due. Notice, accrued salary, leave and other settlement items remain separate.

Sources: FGTS Law 8.036, Article 18 · Labour Ministry: FGTS Digital FAQ

Which convenção coletiva applies to an EOR employee in Brazil?

The agreement normally follows the employing entity’s predominant activity and the relevant territorial scope, with exceptions for differentiated professional categories. It is not chosen merely from the client’s industry or the employee’s preferred benefits.

Have the EOR identify the applicable convenção coletiva and classification in writing, including the salary floor, adjustments and benefits. An “EOR agreement” is not a separate statutory category.
