FAQ
Gini Talent simplifies employment in Brazil by consolidating payroll, compliance, benefits, taxes, and contractor services into a unified platform. We provide Employer of Record (EOR), contractor management, and full payroll services in Brazil. Brasília is the capital, Portuguese is the official language, and the country has approximately 212 million inhabitants. With standard working weeks of 44 hours, progressive tax brackets, social security contributions, severance rules, and mandated notice periods, Brazil’s employment framework is complex. Gini helps global companies navigate this complexity and scale hiring in Brazil smoothly.
We deliver EOR, contractor management, and compliance & payroll services to help employers hire in Brazil without needing a local entity.

Approximately 212,458,027 people.
Standard working hours are 44 hours per week, though some sectors may have variations. Remote work and flexible hours are increasingly accepted.
Employers contribute ~20% to INSS, 8% to FGTS, about 5.8% to education, and 1–3% for accident insurance. Employees also contribute to social security (8–11%). Brazil mandates a “13th salary,” paid vacation, and a severance fund (FGTS) with fines on termination.
Brazilian income tax is progressive: incomes up to R$1,903.98 are tax-free; higher brackets are taxed at 7.5%, 15%, 22.5%, and 27.5%. Employees also make social security contributions.
Upon termination, the last salary must be paid. If there is unilateral dismissal, employers pay fines and penalties on FGTS balances (typically 40%). Notice periods for employer or employee resignations generally span 30 days, with extra days for extended service. Probation may be up to 90 days (two 45-day periods).
Workers are entitled to annual leave, paid vacation, health care, retirement benefits, job security protections, and mandatory “13th salary.”
