Startups are known for developing transformative and disruptive businesses, due to the very entrepreneurial and bold essence of their founders and employees.

Since November of 2017, when the Labor Reform established that the "premiums" are not subject to the application of labor and social security charges, much has been discussed about the Federal Revenue Service's interpretation of this concept and the requirements to apply it.

Startups are, by definition, the work environment of young people, a demanding public when it comes to instantaneousness in relationships and communications, an entirely flexible routine and less bureaucracy. This innovative profile makes day to day work very informal.
To facilitate and modernize access to information related to all formal professional experiences of workers, the Ministry of Labor launched in late November of 2018 the Digital Employment Record Card, or Digital CTPS, as a free application available on the iOS and Android platforms.
When one speaks of startups, one of the first things that comes to mind is the informality of the work environment compared to that of traditional businesses.
