Overview

  • Relator Léo Prates said Wednesday the commission will write broad rules into a constitutional amendment and handle sector specifics in a separate bill, with his report due May 20 and a committee vote set for May 26.
  • Labor Minister Luiz Marinho urged Speaker Hugo Motta to move the government’s urgent bill and pressed for an immediate 40-hour limit with two weekly days off and no pay cuts.
  • Prates said two weekly rest days will be guaranteed but he is not ready to require them to be consecutive, and he will weigh transition rules before finalizing the text.
  • Citing Labor Ministry studies, Prates estimated an average 4.7% rise in payroll costs, while the Finance team rejected compensations for firms but signaled room for sector-by-sector transitions and possible credit lines.
  • Hearings continue next week with Finance Minister Dario Durigan on Tuesday and minister Guilherme Boulos on Wednesday, as parallel proposals advance, including a PSOL bid for a 15% extra hour cut for mothers and a Senate plan to swap payroll taxes for a levy of up to 1.4% on gross revenue.
