The Federal Senate approved Provisional Measure No. 1,109/2022, which provides for new labor rules for periods of public calamity.
Among the approved rules are the granting of individual or collective early vacations, anticipation of holidays, use of time banks, the possibility of teleworking, the suspension of FGTS collection, proportional reduction of working hours and salary, and temporary suspension of contracts.
The rules apply to both public calamities instituted by the Federal Government and those instituted by State and Municipal Governments.
According to the rapporteur of the Provisional Measure, the intention is to preserve jobs and income and ensure the reduction of the social impact that a state of public calamity causes.
