Abstract: Participation in profits sharing (PPS) is a mode of negotiation, between companies and employees, which is growing around the world, particularly in economically developed countries, such as England, France, Germany, Japan, and the USA. PPS in Brazil has emerged as a social incentive, where employees have the opportunity to earn profits through the results that helped build the companies; the opportunity to enhance results, productivity, quality and profitability through the commitment of employees. Our study was based on national and international journals, and results indicated that there are great opportunities for studies on this subject in Brazil. In the shadows of the recent establishment of rules of law, which guides contracts of PPS, companies have been negotiating PPS with their employees. This study was conducted with 232 PPS agreement contracts in Brazil between 2013 and 2014. These contracts were analysed and correlated to management models. The set of standard PPS indicators was developed with the purpose of serving as a reference for companies, employees and unions in their PPS negotiations.
