What to Consider When Hiring Employees in Brazil?
Types Of Employment Contracts in Brazil
In Brazil, employees are engaged under the Brazilian Labour Code and are entitled to various benefits, including paid annual leave, sick leave, and parental leave. Notice periods vary depending on the length of service, and there are strict rules regarding termination. There are two main employment types which businesses need to understand when engaging in Brazil.
- CLT (Consolidacao das Leis do Trabalho): Standard full-time employment framework, guaranteeing full labour protections such as paid vacations, 13th salary, FGTS and regulated working hours.
- PJ (Pessoa Juridica): Independent Contractors, who operates as a legal entity, issuing invoices and handling their own taxes and benefits.
