 Did you know that you are entitled to a declaration of employment if you are self-employed? In addition, this document is extremely important for some situations, such as getting a place for your child at the daycare center or even proof of your activity in the job market.

Thinking about it, and knowing the need for this document for thousands of people, we made today's article with everything on this topic. Are you interested? Continue with us and check it out! ?

What is a job statement?

First of all, it is important to say that the declaration of work is essential to prove that you are operating in the market in various contexts - the most recent, including, has been for the rescue of emergency aid from the government during COVID-19. This document is necessary for both the employer and the service provider.

Although very necessary, we are here today to show that the formatting of this document is very simple - just have the data of the declarant in hand, the reason why you are declaring the work, signatures, date etc. But, rest assured, the step by step you will check throughout our text.

What is the purpose of a declaration?

As we said earlier, the main objective of obtaining a job statement, as a self-employed professional, is to prove your performance in the market even without having a “formal contract”, that is, even if your activity is not described in the Work Card and Social Security (CPTS). And why is proving your work important? Now, this document is extremely requested in several places and situations, such as banks, schools, daycare centers, Federal Government assistance programs, among others.

What can I do to declare my employment?

First of all, it is important that we clarify what makes you an employee under the law. The signing of the Labor Laws (CLT), which regulates labor relations, establishes the following in Article 3: “Any individual who provides services of a non-eventual nature to an employer, under his dependence and for a salary, is considered to be employed. Sole paragraph - There will be no distinctions regarding the type of employment and the condition of worker, nor between intellectual, technical and manual work. ”

Therefore, according to the CLT, even if you only provide service to someone on certain days of the week, you are still considered an employee, as there is a working relationship between employee and employer, in addition to remuneration. This is because some rules are established, such as working hours and time of entry and exit, thus configuring an employment relationship.

Then comes the question of what is SOW (statement of work) of any given project or assignment. Few of us get along that SOW is the same as the scope of work. 

That is, with or without registration in the portfolio, every employer can attest that there are people who work for him in his home or company. And you, as a service provider, can also - and should - declare this employment relationship. In order to declare it, however, it is important to prove some essential requirements of the CLT, present in articles 2 and 3: non-eventuality, subordination, burdensome, personality and otherness - and, for that, some documents are needed.
