The Southeast region leads in reductions and suspensions with 54.5%. The Northeast region comes in second with 19%. Following that is the South region with 15.7%, the Midwest with 6%, and the North with 4.7%.
It is important to remember
In April, the federal government issued provisional measure (MP) 936, valid for 90 days, allowing for a reduction in hours with a proportional salary reduction. Both can be reduced by 25%, 50%, and 70%. The total interruption of the contract will be valid for two months.
The rules established by the federal government determine that workers will have their income supplemented by the government as if they were receiving unemployment insurance. The employer must also guarantee the job security of employees who adhered to the measure for the same duration that the rule was in effect in the company. That is, if the employee had their hours reduced for two months, they will be guaranteed that they will not be dismissed for up to two months after the measure ceases to be valid.
