PAYROLL AND HR ADMINISTRATION
Run Brazil payroll and employee administration through a local operating team.
SIBRA runs Brazil payroll and workforce administration for approved employment structures, coordinating employee data, calculations, statutory processes, benefits inputs, reporting and employee support through a local operating team.
- Best fit
- You have a Brazilian entity and employees to administer
- What changes the answer
- Number of employees and pay groups
- Recommended next step
- Request a Payroll Assessment
Use this when
- You have a Brazilian entity and employees to administer
- Your current provider gives you calculations but no operating support
- You need reporting your finance team can reconcile
- You want local employee support in Portuguese
Do not use this when
- You do not have an entity yet — use an employment route first
- You need people found — use recruitment
- You want a function operated end to end — use BPO
How it runs
Implementation, with owners and inputs
| Stage | Owner | What we need from you |
|---|---|---|
| Current-state assessment | SIBRA payroll operations | Headcount, benefits, prior payroll files |
| Transition and parallel run | SIBRA payroll operations | Employee master data, historical balances |
| Monthly cycle operation | SIBRA local payroll team | Variable inputs and approvals |
| Statutory processes and filings coordination | SIBRA local operations | Entity and registration details |
| Reporting and review | SIBRA account operations | Finance reporting requirements |
What drives the price

Brazil specifics
What is different about doing this in Brazil
- Brazilian payroll includes 13th salary, vacation with bonus, statutory charges and periodic obligations that need a defined calendar.
- Benefits practice varies by role, city and collective agreements.
- Employee-facing support in Portuguese reduces escalation to headquarters.
- Reporting can be aligned to USD consolidation needs.
Typical roles and functions
- Finance and controllership
- HR operations
- Shared services
- Country management
Proof and attribution
SIBRA publishes only approved client results. Where a comparable program was delivered by another Gracemark Global Group company, it is attributed to the group and explained in terms of the Brazil operating model. How we document results.

Payroll & HR Administration: questions buyers ask
Can you take over mid-year?
Yes, with a parallel run and historical balance validation so year-end obligations remain correct.
Do you handle benefits administration?
Benefits inputs, provider coordination and employee questions are in scope; provider selection is agreed with you.
What reporting do we get?
A monthly reporting pack covering cost by employee and cost centre, variances and statutory items, in a format your finance team can reconcile.
Do you support employees directly?
Yes, in Portuguese, with escalation paths defined for anything commercial or performance-related.
Can this run alongside EOR employees?
Yes. Mixed populations are reported together so you see the full Brazil workforce cost.
How long does transition take?
It depends on data quality and the payroll calendar; the assessment gives you a dated plan before you commit.
