Dino authorizes 8h24 workday without overtime at the end of the 6x1 scale
Minister Flávio Dino defines rules for the end of the 6x1 scale, allowing an 8h24 workday without overtime and flexible days off. Check out the changes.
TL;DR
- Companies can implement daily work shifts of 8 hours and 24 minutes to reach 42 weekly hours without paying overtime.
- This new standard is in effect until December 15, 2026, and serves as a default rule in the absence of specific collective bargaining agreements.
- Flexibility is introduced for organizing weekly days off, allowing for alternative systems negotiated between unions and companies, rather than strict weekly or monthly compensation.
- Government contracts must adapt within six months, and a call is made for special rules for micro and small businesses.
- Reduced working hours do not automatically entitle employees to salary increases based on parity, and financial benefits for longer shifts have a 90-day renegotiation period.
