This is you if: HR already exists, but there's no formal audit or dedicated labor-relations lead.
For companies with their own HR team, but without deep union expertise or a formal compliance audit.
This is you if: you're already dealing with M&A, restructuring or high-complexity negotiations.
Labor due diligence in M&A, high-complexity negotiations and restructuring of labor relations.
Specific tracks that can be hired on their own or combined within any of the three formats above.
Payroll Diagnostics & Review
Technical recalculation of monthly payroll, vacation pay, the 13th salary, severance pay (every termination type) and payroll charges (social security, FGTS, income-tax withholding), with a check of each role's correct union classification. The result is a report listing every discrepancy found and what to do before an audit or a labor claim gets there first.
In-Company Training
Custom training for HR, payroll and legal teams on collective bargaining and union negotiation, payroll and payroll-charge routines, contract termination and Brazil's occupational-safety regulations (NRs), using the company's own case studies and covering recent legislative changes.
Compliance, Audit & Outsourced-Workforce Management
Preventive audit of labor and social-security practices, employment-contract review and governance, and compliance management for outsourced/contracted workforces (documentation, legal obligations, joint and several liability), reducing exposure before it becomes a liability.
An interactive, free self-assessment, built for companies to spot exposure in labor and union relations.
Every day, a short read on rulings from Brazil's labor courts (TST, STJ, STF) and an article connecting each change to how technology can help your company get ahead of it.
The duty to map the risks was never suspended. What changes, what doesn't, and the closing window.

Social-Security Credits & Cost Reduction
Savings opportunities that go unnoticed in day-to-day HR
Assessment, offsetting and recovery of social-security credits, administrative defenses focused on reducing contingencies, and checks for recurring financial leaks, such as benefits or charges wrongly kept active after an employee's termination. Direct, measurable financial gain, not just risk prevention.
