Law 13.429/17 introduced the requirement for a minimum share capital tied to the number of employees. Over the past 5 years, companies have shown little movement toward complying with this requirement, and public authorities' enforcement of the rule also appeared timid.
In July of this year, however, the TST (Superior Labor Court) issued a ruling against a construction company that had engaged firms failing to meet the minimum share capital required by law. The practice was classified as Social Dumping, and the company was ordered to pay R$200,000.00 in Collective Moral Damages.
It is important to note that responsibility for compliance with the law falls on both the labor outsourcing company and the businesses that engage its services.
