BRAZIL: New Service Order on Time of Service for a Foreign Company

Brazil issued a new Service Order on time of service for a foreign company.

Brazil issued a new Service Order (No. 01/2015) on January 15, 2015, providing that for purposes of proof of experience, when the candidate is, or was in the past, an employee of a company of the same economic group of the Brazilian sponsoring company, the time of service for the foreign company can be proven through a statement prepared by the Brazilian company, provided that the letter is signed by a statutory officer of the Brazilian company.

The order also states that “any document admitted by law” will also be accepted to prove the experience. The big question here is what will be considered as admitted by law
