Multas por Pejotização Ilegal em Recrutamento
Definition
In Talent Acquisition and Candidate Screening, misclassifying contractors as PJ (Pessoa Jurídica) instead of CLT employees is common, leading to severe penalties enforced by labor courts and MTE.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: R$400 per misclassified employee; penalties 75-225% of owed amounts; up to R$1 bilhão in collective damages (e.g., 2023 São Paulo case); R$3,101.73 per unregistered employee[1][2][3][4]
- Frequency: High; 90+ companies cited in 2025 MTE operation, courts setting nationwide precedents
- Root Cause: Inadequate screening for control, economic dependence, and integration factors in candidate evaluation
Why This Matters
The Pitch: Human Resources Services in Brasil 🇧🇷 waste R$400+ per misclassified employee plus 75-225% penalties on recruitment processes. Automation of candidate screening classification eliminates this risk.
