Brazil risk register
The five things that go wrong in Brazil, and how we control each one.
Brazil punishes employers who improvise. These are the exposures international employers meet most often, and the control we put in place before the first person starts.
- 01
A contractor is reclassified as an employee
We assess the working relationship before it starts, then place the person on the engagement route that matches how the work is actually directed, supervised and paid.
- 02
A labour claim after someone leaves
Employment agreements, working time records, benefits and termination amounts are administered locally to Brazilian practice, with documentation retained from day one.
- 03
The budget misses statutory charges and provisions
Costs are built as a landed figure per seat, including statutory employer charges, provisions, benefits inputs and termination provisioning, before you commit.
- 04
Payroll or statutory filings slip
Payroll, contributions and statutory reporting run on a local calendar with a named owner, and international reporting back to your finance team.
- 05
You outgrow the structure you started with
Move between engagement routes, or across to your own Brazilian entity, without restarting the relationship or disrupting the people already working.
Our commitment
Start fast. Keep every option open.
Begin with the route that fits today. Change the engagement model, add people, add cities, or move everyone across to your own Brazilian entity later, and the team you already hired keeps working through the same payroll date and the same people you deal with now.
No exclusivity
Work with us for one role or an entire operation. Nothing forces the rest through us.
No lock-in
Leave, or graduate to your own entity, without penalty terms designed to keep you.
No hand-offs
One accountable Brazil team from recruitment through payroll and daily operations.
One accountable operator
One Brazil relationship from first hire to full operation.
Platforms provide employment infrastructure. Recruiters stop at placement. Payroll providers begin after the hire. SIBRA connects the entire Brazil workforce lifecycle, finding the people, employing or paying them, operating the workforce locally, and transitioning the team to your own entity when that becomes the better business decision.
One Brazil operator. One commercial relationship. No forced platform, no forced model and no hand-offs.
Not a platform reselling Brazil. The operator in Brazil.

Straight answers
Make the Brazil decision with fewer unknowns.
Clear answers to the questions international employers ask before hiring, employing or building a team in Brazil.
How can a US company hire an employee in Brazil without opening an entity?
An Employer of Record route lets a US company engage a Brazilian employee before it has its own local employing entity. SIBRA coordinates the local employment agreement, payroll and statutory administration while your managers direct the day-to-day work under the agreed operating structure.
Read the full answer →Should we use an EOR, contractor, staffing agency or our own entity?
It depends on the work, the duration, how the person is managed and your headcount plan. Short or project capacity often starts with staffing or a managed team; long term employees usually belong on an employment route; genuine independent professionals may be contracted. The selector compares your situation through a short diagnostic.
Read the full answer →What does an employee in Brazil cost the employer?
Employer cost is gross compensation plus statutory employment charges, provisions such as 13th salary and vacation, benefits inputs and the service model fee. The cost builder captures every category for your role and city, then a Brazil specialist verifies the figures before you plan around them.
