Individual small business owners (Mi) have been granted an extension of the deadline for registration in the Electronic Employment System (DET). The government has extended the new deadline, now set at August 1, with the aim of providing more time for these entrepreneurs to comply with the obligation without facing penalties.
What is the home electronic work system?
DET is an online platform created at the initiative of the Federal Government and managed by the Secretariat of Labor Inspection (SIT) of the Ministry of Labor and Employment (MTE). This system was developed to integrate and simplify communication between the government and employers. Following the guidelines of Section 628-A of the CLT, the DET primarily serves to notify employers of administrative actions and tax procedures and to submit documents in administrative processes.
Who needs to register and how important is it?
It is mandatory for all entities subject to labor inspection, including small and medium enterprises that do not have registered employees. Registering with the DET not only helps ensure compliance with business regulations, but also ensures that small business owners are always aware of potential tax and administrative procedures related to their business.
How to avoid penalties?
There are no specific fines by the government for MEIs who do not update their registration on time. However, failure to register can result in future fines, for example, if the business auditor issues a notice and there is no response within 15 days. In this case, it is assumed that the notification has been received, even if MEI is not aware of it.
How can SMEs register with DET?
The entire registration process is done online, facilitating access and compliance for small business owners. First, it is necessary to enter the DET platform website, register in the Gov.br system and follow the instructions to complete the registration. This step-by-step process ensures that the MEI complies with regulations and avoids future problems with labor inspections.
Additional tips for good organization
- Always keep your contact details and address up to date in the system to ensure you receive all notifications.
- Regularly monitor the DET system for any new connections or requirements.
- Consult an accountant or accounting professional if you have questions about the filing process or tax and employment obligations in general.
Extending the deadline for registration in the DET system is an opportunity for SMEs to regularize their situations without haste, thus ensuring the continuity of their business in compliance with labor laws.
