Key Employment Considerations
Brazil’s CLT (Consolidated Labour Laws) framework is one of the most prescriptive in the world. The 13th-month salary, mandatory profit-sharing (PLR), and FGTS fund contributions are all strictly required. Non-compliance carries severe financial penalties.
Pynk’s Brazil team ensures every hire is fully CLT-compliant from day one.
