The first group of employees dismissed worked at the engineering centre in the São Caetano do Sul plant, also in São Paulo state.
GM has launched a voluntary redundancy programme open to all 8,300 workers at that plant but will not say how many workers it wants to cut.
GM says the dismissals are to adjust vehicle production to the current low demand in Brazil.
