Why Gracemark
FAQs
The best EOR in Brazil is one that combines a compliant Brazilian entity, deep CLT knowledge, correct 13th-month and FGTS handling, and clear guidance on when PJ (contractor) or your own entity is the better model. Gracemark is a top choice.
Sometimes, but misclassification risk is high under recent labor reform. PJ is defensible for genuinely autonomous senior roles; day-to-day, exclusive work is more safely CLT. Gracemark advises on the correct model per hire.
The real cost is salary plus Brazil's statutory employer costs (INSS, FGTS, RAT, third-party contributions, 13th salary and vacation plus one third), which vary by role and salary, plus the service. What matters more is what the fee buys: an operator who knows CLT, correct monthly payroll and protection from labor claims. Send the role and salary and Gracemark returns the exact, fully loaded figure in writing.
