Brazil is one of the largest economies in the world, with a workforce of over 100 million people, a strong consumer base, and a growing technology sector.
But hiring employees in Brazil comes with a complex set of labor laws, tax regulations, and registration requirements that can slow down your expansion.
INS Global simplifies this process through its Employer of Record in Brazil, helping international companies hire employees and contractors legally without establishing a Brazilian subsidiary.
Why Use an Employer of Record in Brazil?
Brazil’s labor market is rich in talent, but its legal framework can be overwhelming:
- Complex labor code (CLT – Consolidação das Leis do Trabalho)
- Mandatory 13th-month salary and paid vacation policies
- Social security (INSS) and severance fund (FGTS) contributions
- Strict employee termination laws
Setting up a Brazilian entity requires significant investment and administrative burden. INS Global allows you to bypass this entirely by acting as your legal employer in Brazil, handling contracts, payroll, benefits, taxes, and compliance, while you focus on running your business.
