Share your requirementsIn brief
GullyHR, based in Bengaluru, helps businesses in Brazil with HR audits, hiring and onboarding processes, handbooks, performance reviews and manager training. We work remotely by video call and shared documents, drafting in English. We do not give legal advice or run payroll. Your Brazilian adviser confirms the rules and we build them into your HR system.
Time zone. Brasilia and Sao Paulo are on UTC-3 all year. India is 8 hours 30 minutes ahead. Indian afternoon and evening meet the Brazilian morning, so calls usually fall between 5:30 and 9:30 in the evening India time.

What we do for businesses in Brazil
HR audit
We review contracts, policies, staff files, onboarding steps and management practice against a clear checklist. You receive a written report, with questions for your Brazilian adviser marked separately.
Read more →HR process design
We map and redesign hiring, onboarding, absence, performance and disciplinary workflows for your team. Each step has an owner and a record.
Read more →HR documentation process
We organise the records a growing company needs: contracts, staff files, forms, acknowledgements and checklists, with clear ownership of each document.
Read more →Policies and employee handbook
We draft a handbook and core policies in plain English. Legal wording and entitlements stay open until your adviser confirms them. Portuguese versions are prepared by your translator or adviser.
Read more →Recruitment and interview process
We design structured interviews, scorecards and offer steps that keep hiring decisions consistent and recorded across managers and sites.

Informal employment practice.
Small and mid-sized employers often rely on a trusted accountant and personal relationships. Written HR processes give managers something to follow when the owner is not in the room.
Relationship-driven management.
Trust and personal relationships matter a great deal in Brazilian workplaces. Feedback and performance conversations need a structure that keeps them respectful yet clear.
Hiring across regions.
A company with staff in several cities can end up with different habits at each site. One hiring and onboarding process keeps the experience and the records consistent.
Documentation load.
Brazilian employers handle a lot of paperwork. Clear checklists and an owner for each document reduce missing records and last-minute searches.
Turnover and retention.
Lost staff cost time and knowledge. A good first ninety days, regular one-to-ones and a visible path for growth help keep people.
Foreign head office, local practice.
Global policies may not fit local expectations. Adapting them with your adviser keeps the group standard without confusing local teams.
Local rules your adviser confirms
These are Brazilian regimes an employer should confirm with a qualified local adviser. We do not state rates, limits or notice periods. We design the process around each point once your adviser confirms it.
| Topic | What we do about it |
|---|---|
| Labour code (CLT) | The main framework for formal employment. We design the HR process and templates around it. Your adviser confirms how it applies to your business. |
| Employment record and registration | Formal registration of employees through the government systems. Your adviser or accountant handles this. We add the hiring and onboarding steps that feed it. |
| Collective agreements and unions | Many sectors have union agreements that set terms for staff. Your adviser confirms which apply. We build the confirmed terms into policies and checklists. |
| Working hours and overtime | Working hours, rest and overtime records. We design the recording and approval steps. Your adviser confirms what applies to your roles. |
| Leave, vacation and thirteenth salary | Statutory leave and extra pay arrangements. We draft the policy structure and request flow. Figures go in only after your adviser confirms them. |
| FGTS and social contributions | Employer contributions and related obligations. Your adviser or payroll provider handles these. We add the joiner and leaver steps that feed them. |
| Health and safety programmes | Occupational health and safety obligations for employers. Your adviser or safety specialist confirms them. We add the checks to onboarding and manager routines. |
| Equality and anti-harassment rules | Protection against discrimination and harassment at work. We design consistent, recorded recruitment, complaint and review processes. Your adviser reviews the wording. |
GullyHR does not give legal advice. We design the HR process around a rule once your qualified local adviser has confirmed it.
How remote delivery works
- 1
Scoping call
A video call in the overlap hours to understand your business, team size, managers and the issues you want solved. We agree scope in writing.
- 2
Document review
You share contracts, handbooks, forms and sample records in a shared folder. Where documents are in Portuguese, you or your translator summarise them for us. We list gaps and questions for your adviser.
- 3
Written findings
We send a written report in plain English with priorities, then go through it on a call so you can ask questions before design starts.
- 4
Design and drafting
We draft process maps, policies, templates and checklists in English in shared documents. You comment, we revise, and legal points stay marked for your adviser.
- 5
Handover and support
We hand over final documents with a short guide for managers. Portuguese versions are prepared by your translator or adviser. We can support the process remotely afterwards.
What we do not do
- We do not give legal advice or opinions on Brazilian labor law.
- We do not run payroll or make social contribution or tax filings.
- We do not handle visa or work permit applications.
- We do not supply contract staff or run background verification.
- We do not claim a Brazilian office, registration or past Brazilian clients.
Questions from businesses in Brazil
GullyHR does. We are based in Bengaluru and work remotely with businesses in Brazil on audits, process design, documents and training. We do not give legal advice and we work alongside your Brazilian adviser.
No. We have no Brazilian office or registration and we do not claim Brazilian clients. This page describes the remote service we offer and how it fits with your local adviser.
Our work is done in English. Portuguese documents need a qualified translator or your adviser. We write the English process and templates so they can be translated exactly.
No. We name areas to check, such as the labor code and collective agreements, but your qualified adviser confirms the rules. We then build the confirmed requirement into your processes.
No. We do not compute payroll or make filings. We can design the joiner, leaver and change steps that feed your accountant or payroll provider, so the right information arrives on time.
Book a first conversation, which is free. We listen to your situation and, if useful, send a written scope and timeline. A paid HR audit is usually the first piece of work.
