6×1: Proposal envisages reducing working hours to 42 hours and two days off per week

If the end of the 6×1 scale is approved by the National Congress, workers will have two days off per week. The opinion of the rapporteur of the PEC (Proposed Amendment to the Constitution), deputy Leo Prates (Republicanos-BA), foresees the beginning of the reduction in working hours 60 days after the text is promulgated.

Under the proposal, the working hours limit drops to 42 hours per week after 60 days of the promulgation of the new constitutional amendment, with paid rest of two days per week. Twelve months after this stage, the limit will be definitively set at 40 hours per week.

The text provides that a day off is granted preferably on Sundays. Furthermore, there will be no salary reduction.

For the changes to come into force, the PEC needs to be approved by both Houses and made official by President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT). Currently, the text is being analyzed by a special committee of the Chamber of Deputies.

The expectation is that the board will vote on the proposal next Wednesday (27). If approved, the text will go to the Chamber Plenary. The proposal's opinion was presented on Monday (25) after agreement with the government.
