The Federal Senate approved the Proposed Constitutional Amendment (PEC, in Portuguese) that ends the 6×1 work schedule. The decision marks a definitive step toward changing working hour regulations in Brazil, directly impacting how corporate teams are structured.
Voting and Legislative Process
Approval in the Federal Senate occurred by an overwhelming majority. During the legislative process, the PEC underwent two rounds of voting, a requirement for amendments to the Brazilian Constitution. The final tally recorded 75 votes in favor and only one against.
The 6×1 model involves six days of work followed by one day of rest. Legislative approval ending this model reflects a structural shift in labor relations, particularly relevant for companies operating continuous shifts, such as those in retail and services.
Forwarding for Promulgation
Following approval across two rounds in the Federal Senate, the text now advances to promulgation. Under the Brazilian legislative system, Proposed Constitutional Amendments do not require presidential sanction or veto. Promulgation serves as the formal declaration of the amendment’s enactment, at which point it becomes part of the Constitution.
For investors, executives, and human resources managers, the progress of this measure requires close attention to operational planning. Transitioning to new scheduling models will require adjustments to corporate routines once the new rules officially take effect.
