# Career PJ Contract Risk Review

## Purpose

Produce a practical pre-signature review for a Brazilian individual PJ engagement. Focus on career, negotiation, and contract-risk questions, not on giving definitive legal advice.

State clearly that the output is informational and should be validated with a labor lawyer and accountant when the decision is material.

## Reference

When available, read the user's project/source file first, especially `docs/contexto-pj-brasil.md` or an attached equivalent. Otherwise read `references/pj-brasil.md`.

For current legal or jurisprudential claims, especially if the user asks for "lei atual", "STF", "risco juridico", "processo", "hoje", or a concrete decision to sign, verify the current official/legal sources before relying on them and cite the sources used.

## Inputs To Use

Use all information the user provides, including:

- Contract draft, proposal, SOW, job description, vacancy, recruiter message, or informal scope.
- Company name, business model, country/state/city, reputation, employee reviews, litigation/news history, and how it usually hires.
- Expected routine: schedule, meetings, reporting line, tools, workplace, remote/hybrid, equipment, on-call, availability, exclusivity, benefits, vacation, deliverables, and acceptance criteria.
- Payment model: monthly retainer, hourly, per project, milestones, invoice flow, tax regime, reimbursement, currency, adjustment, termination, and penalties.
- Professional context: whether the user is converting from CLT, replacing an employee, joining a team, using own CNPJ/MEI/LTDA, or serving multiple clients.

If facts are missing, continue with explicit assumptions and include an "Informacoes faltantes" section.

## Workflow

1. Summarize the arrangement in 3-6 bullets: role, company, scope, operating model, payment, and unknowns.
2. Classify risk as `baixo`, `moderado`, `alto`, or `indeterminado`, with a short reason. Avoid claiming certainty.
3. Map the facts against PJ risk dimensions:
   - autonomia versus subordinacao;
   - entrega/resultado versus jornada/disponibilidade;
   - pessoalidade and ability to use substitutes or support;
   - habitualidade and permanent team integration;
   - exclusivity, economic dependence, and ability to serve other clients;
   - benefits, company email/title/org chart, equipment, and employee-like treatment;
   - prior CLT relationship or replacement of a CLT role;
   - taxes, invoices, CNPJ activity, accountant, and fiscal regularity;
   - IP, confidentiality, LGPD, non-compete, non-solicit, liability, termination, and dispute terms.
4. Produce the requested sections in Portuguese.
5. Prioritize questions that a real candidate/contractor can send to the company or raise in a meeting.

## Output Format

Use this structure unless the user asks otherwise:

### Resumo da situacao

Briefly describe the arrangement, risk level, and why it matters.

### Questionamentos para o juridico da empresa a prestar servico

List direct questions for the company's legal team. Prefer questions that force clarity about autonomy, absence of employment relationship, scope, evidence, and risk allocation.

### Pontos de atencao na formatacao do contrato

List clauses or drafting choices to review. Highlight risky wording and safer commercial alternatives when useful.

### Perguntas para a contratante e seu juridico

List practical business/process questions for the hiring manager, recruiter, procurement, and legal team. Include work routine, management model, tools, deliverables, payment, access, and renewal/termination.

### Observacoes adicionais

Add negotiation notes, documents to request, red flags, pricing considerations, and when to seek a lawyer/accountant.

### Informacoes faltantes

Include only when relevant. Keep it short and focused on the facts that would most change the risk analysis.

## Question Patterns

Use and adapt these question patterns.

For legal:

- Como o contrato demonstra autonomia tecnica e operacional do prestador?
- Quais praticas internas evitam controle de jornada, subordinacao direta e tratamento equivalente a empregado?
- O contrato permite atendimento a outros clientes? Se houver exclusividade, qual a justificativa, prazo e compensacao?
- Como serao documentadas entregas, aceite, mudancas de escopo e comunicacoes?
- A vaga substitui ou replica uma funcao CLT existente? Houve conversao recente de CLT para PJ?
- Qual e a posicao da empresa se houver questionamento sobre vinculo ou pejotizacao?
- Existem clausulas de nao concorrencia, nao solicitacao, confidencialidade, LGPD, propriedade intelectual, multa ou responsabilidade ilimitada? Como sao proporcionais?

For contract formatting:

- Preferir escopo, entregaveis, criterios de aceite, prazos, valores e forma de pagamento.
- Evitar linguagem de cargo, chefe, subordinacao, jornada, banco de horas, ferias autorizadas, escala, advertencia ou beneficios CLT.
- Prever nota fiscal, tributos, reajuste, reembolso, rescisao, confidencialidade, LGPD, propriedade intelectual, limitacao de responsabilidade e mecanismo de mudanca de escopo.
- Diferenciar SLA comercial de controle de horario.
- Registrar se ferramentas/equipamentos sao do prestador ou fornecidos apenas para seguranca/acesso, sem caracterizar direcao do trabalho.

For the contratante:

- Quem define prioridades e quem aprova entregas?
- Ha horario fixo, reunioes obrigatorias diarias, plantao, sobreaviso ou expectativa de resposta imediata?
- O prestador pode organizar agenda, metodo e local de trabalho?
- O prestador pode atender outros clientes?
- Como ausencias planejadas, indisponibilidade e ferias comerciais serao tratadas?
- Quais acessos, sistemas, email, titulo e apresentacao publica serao usados?
- Qual e o fluxo de NF, pagamento, aceite e contestacao de entregas?
- O valor proposto considera impostos, contador, beneficios privados, ferias, doenca, equipamentos e periodos sem demanda?

## Tone And Boundaries

- Be direct, practical, and candidate-friendly.
- Separate facts from assumptions.
- Do not tell the user a contract is "legal" or "illegal" with certainty.
- Do not draft final legal clauses as if acting as counsel unless the user asks for a draft; even then, label as a discussion draft for lawyer review.
- If the user's facts strongly resemble employment, say so plainly and recommend specialized legal review before signing.
