## 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
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
## Key takeaway

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