STF chief signals leave flexibility

Brazil's Supreme Court chief says companies can negotiate monthly or weekly leave limits after ending the 6x1 work schedule.

“Vamos, daqui a alguns dias, emitir uma decisão precisando o que foi requerido por ambas as partes. Ou seja, que o limitador mensal ou semanal pode ser flexibilizado mediante negociação coletiva”

Why flexibility needed

The court says the constitutional amendment causes rigidity in marking two weekly paid days off.

“a emenda constitucional "induz à rigidez" a respeito da marcação das duas folgas semanais”

Current leave rules

Current leave rules

Companies must give two paid days off per week with preference for Sunday, and the days can be separated.

“A empresa organiza a escala conforme as regras da categoria e deve dar preferência ao domingo para uma das folgas”

Negotiation requirements

To get three days off in one week and two in the next, companies need collective agreement authorization.

“Para conceder uma folga em uma semana e três na seguinte, a empresa precisa de autorização em acordo ou convenção coletiva”

Constitutional amendment timeline

The amendment ends the 6x1 schedule and reduces work hours from 44 to 40 per week without pay cuts.

“O texto acaba com a escala 6x1 e reduz a jornada máxima de trabalho de 44 para 40 horas semanais”

Business groups' demands

The CNC wants the transition delayed to October 2027 and the final 40-hour rule to October 2028.

“A CNC pede que a primeira etapa da transição seja adiada para outubro de 2027”

STF's assessment

The court says the two-month transition period is not initially unworkable but may be reviewed.

“Nesse quadro, e em juízo necessariamente perfunctório, o prazo de dois meses não se revela, a princípio, inviável”

Government delay

The government delayed publishing the decree due to Lula's travel schedule to Asia.

“O texto foi finalizado pelos ministérios envolvidos na elaboração, mas a tendência é de que a publicação só ocorra após o chefe do Executivo retornar de uma sequência de viagens à Ásia”

The bottom line

Brazil's Supreme Court chief says companies can negotiate monthly or weekly leave limits after ending the 6x1 work schedule.
