On October 16, the Brazilian National Congress promulgated a constitutional amendment establishing the end of the six-day workweek with one day off (6×1) as the general rule and a gradual reduction in weekly working hours, without any reduction in pay.

This change requires companies to pay particular attention to work schedule arrangements and the scope for collective bargaining during the transition period.

For companies with continuous operations or special work schedules, the provisions of the constitutional amendment may play a decisive role in reconciling labor requirements with business continuity.

Reviewing collective bargaining agreements and planning work schedules in advance will be essential to ensuring a legally compliant transition.
