eSocial and FGTS Digital for Labor Proceedings
Preparation of labor-proceeding calculations and information, with submissions and portal operations through Metta Link.
The eSocial and FGTS Digital solution organizes calculations, data, and actions needed to fulfill obligations arising from Brazilian labor proceedings. Service through calcula.ai, with partner Metta Link, combines technical preparation with the option of operational execution in the portals.
The assignment starts from decisions, settlements, calculations, and employment records. The team identifies the required information, prepares calculation bases, and carries out the contracted stages, preserving the relationship between the proceeding, source documents, and operational results.
Preparation and execution
| Stage | Deliverable |
|---|---|
| Case analysis | Identification of directions, covered workers, periods, and missing information. |
| Calculation preparation | Organization of components and bases by reference period under applicable criteria. |
| Event preparation | Structuring and checking eSocial information and the data required by FGTS Digital. |
| Partner execution | Submissions, response checks, and portal operations included in the contracted service. |

eSocial events and FGTS information
The events have different purposes and use data related to the same proceeding:
- S-2500 — Labor Proceeding: brings together information about the proceeding, employment relationship, and relevant bases under the declared circumstances.
- S-2501 — Tax Information Arising from a Labor Proceeding: reports taxes related to payments and the proceeding’s bases under applicable rules.
- FGTS Digital: uses eSocial information and data required by its functions for calculation and payment-form generation, including compensatory indemnity where applicable.
For labor proceedings, eSocial generates the S-5503 totalizer containing FGTS information by worker. The operation checks returned amounts and the corresponding actions in FGTS Digital. Official guidance on labor proceedings in FGTS Digital (in Portuguese).
Treatment of each proceeding considers the systems’ temporal rules, transition arrangements, and exceptions. Cases covered by the May 1, 2026 milestone use FGTS Digital; earlier situations and categories with specific treatment follow their own guidance. The team checks the applicable route before execution. FGTS Digital references and guidance (in Portuguese).
Information needed to start
Preparation brings together, as applicable:
- decisions, settlements, and calculations approved by the court or submitted for review;
- identification of the proceeding, employer, and covered workers;
- employment details, periods, remuneration, and data by reference period;
- components, assessment bases, and payment records;
- previously submitted events, receipts, and information requiring correction;
- legal, HR, payroll, and payment responsibilities.
Gaps are routed to the responsible people for completion. The analysis includes any need to correct earlier employment or payroll information so that declarations are consistent with the proceeding and existing records.
Activating portal operations
Partner execution requires configuration with Looplex support to make the digital certificate needed for the operation available for use, together with the applicable authorizations and representation powers. Support coordinates access setup with the party and the partner.
FGTS Digital uses its electronic power-of-attorney system to grant powers to third parties. Configuration follows each system’s requirements, including eSocial, FGTS Digital, and other environments covered by the service. Electronic powers of attorney for FGTS Digital (in Portuguese).
