Deputy Luiz Gastão (PSD-CE) Warns That Ending the 6-for-1 Scale May Raise Costs for Micro and Small Businesses by Up to R$ 35 Billion, Affecting Consumer Prices and Requiring Alternatives to Preserve Jobs and Productivity in the Country

The deputy Luiz Gastão (PSD-CE), rapporteur of the subcommittee analyzing the Proposed Constitutional Amendment (PEC) 8/25, warned about the financial impact that ending the 6-for-1 scale could generate for micro and small businesses in Brazil.

During the program Me Conta+, broadcast by the Chamber of Deputies on Friday (10), he estimated that the costs for these companies could increase by around R$ 35 billion with the end of the 44-hour weekly work limit.

“This cost will be paid by all of us, consumers, because products will become more expensive,” he stated. “Our mission is to evaluate not only the work scale but also the costs it generates.”

Sector Concentrates Jobs and Requires Alternatives

Gastão emphasized that micro and small businesses are responsible for the majority of formal jobs in the country.

For this reason, he advocated for the creation of tax credits to reduce taxes on payroll for labor-intensive companies. “It is fair for the worker to have more rest time, and we are seeking alternatives for that,” he said.

Regional and Sectoral Differences Under Discussion

The parliamentarian highlighted that work schedules vary by sector, citing healthcare professionals who work six hours a day on a 6×1 schedule. “Hospitals cannot close on weekends, and transportation needs to operate every day,” he exemplified. He also advocated for rules to consider regional and productivity differences.

Next Steps in the Chamber

The subcommittee of the Labor Commission will hold public hearings until November 15. The final report, with proposals on work hours, schedules, and work mechanisms, will be presented by the end of the month.
