Employment in Brazil
Employ in Brazil without establishing a local entity
The EOR pricing model in Brazil is typically based on a fixed monthly fee per employee. This fee generally includes payroll administration, employment contracts, onboarding, social security administration, statutory reporting, employee benefits management, HR support, and ongoing compliance management.
Compared to establishing a Brazilian legal entity, an EOR significantly reduces setup costs and administrative complexity. Companies avoid incorporation expenses, payroll infrastructure investments, labor registrations, and ongoing compliance administration. This predictable pricing structure enables businesses to scale efficiently while maintaining compliance with Brazilian labor regulations.
