General Steps For Hiring New Interns Or Contract Renewal

In Brazil, the hiring of interns tends to be very bureaucratic. The hiring model is governed by Internship Law No. 11.788, published in 2008, which establishes all the rules that must be followed:

  • The maximum workload must be 20 hours or 30 hours a week

  • The activities performed must mandatorily be related to the Intern's graduation course

  • The maximum duration of the internship contract is 2 years

  • The company must provide a professional to supervise the activities performed by the Intern

Note: the compensation package is standard for all interns according to the workload. To learn more about remuneration and benefits, contact the People Team.

Required Documents

Each University has its template documentation that Rocket.Chat and the Intern need to fill in and forward it for signing. However, there is one document in particular that is common to all processes: the Internship Commitment Term — the ICT. The internship will only be formalized by the University's approval of this document.

To guarantee the hiring efficiency, it's important to establish the responsibilities of 3 parties:

  1. Intern

  2. Manager

  3. People Team

Intern

The Intern is responsible for:

  • Collecting all the documents required provided by your University's Internship Center

  • Share the documents with the People Team in a folder on Google Drive

  • Communicate to the People Team the steps the University requires to firm the Internship

  • Organize the working hours by aligning with the Hiring Manager

Manager

The Manager is responsible for:

  • Define the duration of the contract

  • Define the workload

  • Define the main tasks/activities to be carried out by the Intern

  • Define how performance will be measured

People Team

The People Team is responsible for:

  • Collect with the Intern all the documents necessary for filling

  • Collect with the Manager all the information they are responsible for providing

  • Fill in all the contracts and documents

  • Forward all documents to internal signatures on Zoho Sign

  • Be the liaison between the University and Rocket.Chat

After obtaining all necessary documents, the People Team must mail the completed final versions with all signatures to the person responsible for finalizing the admission or renewal process.
