A proposed labor reform provides for a limitation on the use of partners’ personal assets to pay the legal entity’s labor debts. Partner assets will only be affected in cases of irregular dissolution.
Furthermore, this proposal provides for more flexible rules for employment relationships, including (i) the possibility of working on Sundays for all classes; (ii) a prohibition on recognizing employment relationships between service providers and apps; (iii) holding employees accountable for failure to use safety equipment, even when trained and equipped; (iv) requiring a pregnancy test for dismissal; (v) regulating intermittent work; (vi) limiting procedural substitution to union members; (vii) only allowing full settlement of out-of-court settlements, not partial settlements; (viii) applying the IPCA or SELIC index to adjust labor credits; (ix) compensation for moral damages with a ceiling based on INSS contributions and not on the employee’s salary; (x) applying these rules to current employment contracts.
The proposal aims to stimulate entrepreneurship in the country, generate jobs and reduce bureaucracy in employment relationships.
