Social contributions are mandatory payments that employers and employees are required to make across all jurisdictions. Contributions are made in accordance with local regulations and requirements and are of paramount importance to avoid future labor disputes. Employees working in multiple jurisdictions are also subject to additional social contribution exposure – a secondee assigned from one to another jurisdiction, for instance, may owe contributions in both countries unless a totalization agreement applies and the correct certificate of coverage is obtained.
