Employer of Record, usually referred to simply as EOR, is the model in which one company formally becomes the employer of a professional on behalf of another company. In practice, Einfach is the employer under Brazilian law, while the professional works exclusively for the client company, which defines duties, targets and work routine.
In Brazil, an employee must be linked to an employer legally established in the country, responsible for meeting labor, social-security and tax obligations. For foreign companies that do not yet have a subsidiary, this requirement can delay the start of operations. EOR postpones that initial step, allowing professionals to be hired properly from day one.
While Einfach manages the employment relationship and all legal obligations arising from the hire, the client company remains responsible for managing the professional — defining activities, targets, variable pay, vacation scheduling and other work-related decisions.
For this reason, EOR is an especially suitable option for companies that want to start operations in Brazil quickly, hire strategic professionals or validate the market before deciding to set up their own subsidiary.
