This is a boilerplate template, not legal advice. Brazilian labour, data-protection, consumer- protection and sanitary law (the Consolidação das Leis do Trabalho — CLT, Decreto-Lei 5.452/1943, as reformed by Lei 13.467/2017; the eSocial digital reporting system, under which the admission event must be filed no later than the day before work starts and the CTPS Digital record is updated automatically; Lei 12.506/2011 on proportional notice periods; Lei 13.352/2016, the Lei do Salão Parceiro; the LGPD — Lei 13.709/2018 — supervised by the ANPD, including the simplified regime for agentes de pequeno porte under Resolução CD/ANPD nº 2/2022; the Código de Defesa do Consumidor — CDC, Lei 8.078/1990 — and Decreto 7.962/2013 for e-commerce; and ANVISA's RDC 216/2004 on food-service good practices, as supplemented by state/municipal vigilância sanitária rules) is highly procedural, tied to fixed statutory deadlines (e.g. eSocial admission BEFORE the first working day, a 3-calendar-day minimum notice for each intermittent-work shift, a 10-day TRCT settlement deadline, a 30-day advance vacation notice) and to significant penalties for missed deadlines or missing documentation. ⚠️ ADDITIONAL CONTEXT TO VERIFY WITH YOUR ADVISORS: (1) NR-1/PGR — psychosocial risk factors (fatores de risco psicossociais, Portaria MTE 1.419/2024) became subject to PUNITIVE fiscalização from 26 May 2026 — confirm your current Programa de Gerenciamento de Riscos (PGR) status (MEI is exempt; low-risk ME/EPP may qualify for a simplified declaration at pgr.trabalho.gov.br); (2) the "pejotização" question (STF Tema 1389) — whether an "autônomo"/"PJ" services arrangement may be reclassified as employment — remained UNRESOLVED by the Supreme Court (STF) as of mid-2026; any PJ/autônomo arrangement carries this litigation risk; (3) NFC-e/NF-e/CF-e-SAT/MFE/NFS-e fiscal documents are issued through your accountant's (contador) authorised system and are OUT OF SCOPE for this template; (4) almost every small business in this segment operates under Simples Nacional (MEI/ME/EPP) — a contador is a de facto mandatory partner for payroll, tax and eSocial compliance.
