Brazil’s Administrative Reform Push Advances as Pedro Paulo Seeks Signatures to Open Debate

The effort targets modernization of the state with unified pay tables, limits on extras, stricter discipline, fiscal caps.

Overview

  • Pedro Paulo is collecting deputies’ signatures to formally start consideration of a broad package in the Chamber, with a vote targeted for 2025 and subsequent Senate scrutiny.
  • The proposal would affect roughly 11–12 million public servants across federal, state and municipal levels, including the Judiciary, Public Prosecutors’ Office and audit courts.
  • A single remuneration table would be implemented within ten years, careers would have 20 levels with at least one year between steps, and progression would depend on periodic performance evaluations.
  • Indemnity-type payments would be capped at 10% of salary, cashing out unused vacations and licenses would be banned, and CNJ and CNMP would be barred from creating new benefits.
  • Administrative and fiscal rules include limits on commissioned posts (5% overall, 10% in very small cities), temporary contracts of up to five years, up to 20% remote work per office, personnel-spending ceilings from 2027 and annual incorporation of increases capped at 2.5%.
