RELAX!  Have a maid take care of your home for you !
Get a 'clean' start in São Paulo !!!

Catering especially to but not limited to, the new in-coming international community of São Paulo,
we help you find a domestic employee and help you with the process of hiring and registering her/him. 
 
Our low, impartial flat fees for come-and-go maids and motoristas:
 
R$  560 paperwork + empregado(a) (no translation)
R$  360 Paper Packet only with hiring and registration info, INSS booklet, but you find your own maid / driver
R$  660 Motoristas - often available for R$1300-2000 per month salary 
 
CURRENT ISSUE 2010: 
Increase in bus fares for your domestic employee
Bus fares just increased to 2.70R$
5x per week = R$ 108  per month 
 
Salario Minimo
April 1st the salario minimo for domestic help increased to R$ 560 / month in Sao Paulo
It is illegal to pay your employee less than that.  Also keep in mind that the increase in grocery costs each month hit your domestic employee much harder than you and there are reasons the government increases this each year!
 
When the Salario Minimo increases each year you should give your employee a raise of at least the difference of the new and old Salario Minimo (R$55) + any amount for a job well done.
 
  
Domestic employees can, after each 12 months worked, take either 30 days vacation (calendar days)  or
do a 20-10 day split - take 20 days and later on take or cash out 10 days. Those are the only 2 options they have
 
Where do our MAIDS come from? 

 

We aim to refer only maids of good report.  We accept referrals for new maids for our database from families or other maids and thoroughly pre-interview them.

How much will my MAID cost per month?

 

If you are wondering how much a legally employed MAID costs per month, click here (updated version coming). 

Salaries depend on negotiation! 

Minimum salary is currently 560 R$ per month in Sao Paulo. 

Average salaries are between 700-1000R$ per month.

Expect and be willing to pay more if your apt is 200m2 or larger.

Sleep-in maids and nannies are R$800+ per month.

 

If you do not legally employ her, meaning you won't sign her Carteira de Trabalho and/or pay the INSS tax, she can take you to court and WILL win the law suit in 100% of the cases if she is employed with you with regular days. 

In that case, you would be responsible for all INSS tax due for the time she worked with you instead of only your 12% portion, plus multas (late fees), plus have to pay vacation incl. the 1/3 additional, plus the 13th salary, plus interest, plus lawyer costs...
