🇧🇷🏛 — Brazil’s Chamber of Deputies approved the end of the 6×1 work schedule across the country’s entire labor sector. In total, 461 lawmakers voted in favor and 19 against the Proposed Constitutional Amendment (PEC). The measure will now move to the Federal Senate for review.

❗️ The proposal amends Article 7 of the Constitution, establishing a reduction in the weekly working schedule from 44 hours to 40 hours, with a gradual 14-month transition period and no salary reduction. The measure also establishes a 5×2 schedule, meaning five working days and two days off.

➡️ In addition, the PEC determines that during the transition period, collective bargaining agreements and labor conventions may authorize an extension of the daily working hours to redistribute the workload throughout the week, provided that the two weekly rest days are maintained.

➡️ For outsourced contracts within the public administration, the implementation of the new rules will depend on contractual amendments to restore the economic and financial balance of the agreements. The government will have up to 12 months to make these adjustments. If this does not occur, workers will automatically become covered by the new rules at the end of that period, without any salary reduction.
