Flexibility of labor rules for fathers and mothers

The Executive Branch issued Provisional Measure No. 1116/2022, which provides for more flexible labor rules for workers with children.

For parents with children up to 4 years old, teleworking is preferred.

The MP provides that employees will be able to use the FGTS amount to pay for daycare for their children,

in addition to allowing women to use part of their FGTS to pay for training expenses.

There is the possibility of companies implementing a special working hours compensation scheme through a time bank and a 12-hour working day for 36 hours of rest.

Furthermore, it is possible to bring forward the holidays of fathers and mothers to coincide with school holidays, have different working hours (start and end) and provides for the possibility of suspending the employment contract of parents to monitor the development of their children.
