The Regulatory Standards (Normas Regulamentadoras or NRs) are guidelines established by the Brazilian Ministry of Labor and Employment (MTE) to ensure the health, safety, and well-being of workers, creating a safe and healthy work environment. With the implementation of eSocial, these standards have become even more crucial, bringing labor regulations into the digital landscape and simplifying the process of reporting company obligations.

What is eSocial and How Does It Affect Your Company?

eSocial is an electronic system developed by the Brazilian Federal Government to centralize and unify companies’ tax, social security, and labor obligations. This system aims to reduce bureaucracy and improve efficiency, streamlining the submission of labor information and avoiding redundancy. It requires employers to send various information to the government, including payroll data, vacation records, leaves of absence, and workplace accidents.

Health and Safety (SST) Events in eSocial

Companies are responsible for reporting, through eSocial, events directly related to occupational health and safety (SST). The main required SST events include:

  • S-2210 – Workplace Accident Reporting: This event records workplace accidents, whether or not they result in leave for the employee. It must be submitted by the next business day, or immediately in case of fatal accidents.
  • S-2220 – Employee Health Monitoring: This registers medical evaluations and occupational exams performed, to be sent by the 15th day of the month following the examination.
  • S-2240 – Working Conditions – Hazardous Agents: This event records work environment conditions and employee exposure to hazardous agents. The report must be sent by the 15th day of the month following the start of the reporting requirement or employee admission.

Do Small and Medium-Sized Businesses Need to Use eSocial?

Yes! eSocial was introduced gradually, first for large companies and then expanding to small and medium-sized ones. Today, all companies with employees, regardless of size, are required to use the system to meet their labor and social security obligations.

Penalties: What Happens if You Don’t Comply with eSocial?

Failure to submit the required eSocial information can lead to significant fines and sanctions for the company. The government actively monitors compliance and imposes penalties for non-compliance, so it is crucial to meet deadlines and adhere to all legal obligations.
