Government Changes Service Contracting Rules and Removes Labor Oversight Requirement. New Ordinance Redefines Salaries, Minimum Experience, and Eliminates CLT Bond Requirement in Federal Executive IT Contracts
Starting September 1, 2025, the government changes service contracting rules for information technology in the Federal Executive, modifying reference salaries, experience requirements, and ending the obligation for labor oversight and CLT bond in contracts. The measures were formalized by the Ordinance SGD/MGI No. 6,040, published by the Digital Government Secretariat of the Ministry of Management and Innovation.
According to the text, strategic positions will see significant pay increases — such as the Senior Test Analyst, which will rise from R$ 7,708.80 to R$ 11,081.16 (+43.75%) — while others, such as Mid-Level Data Architect, will have reductions of up to 3%. Additionally, the minimum experience requirement has been standardized: 1 year for junior, 3 years for mid-level, and 5 years for senior.
Salary Adjustments and Market Impact
The increase in reference values may change the pricing of IT contracts with the government. High-complexity roles, such as Mid-Level Artificial Intelligence Engineer and Senior Software Architect, received adjustments of 35% and 22%, respectively.

Brazil produces too much clean energy and doesn’t know what to do with it: over 20% of solar and wind capacity was wasted in 2025 while investors flee and 509 renewable generation projects were abandoned in the last year.

Larger than entire cities in Brazil: BYD is building a 4.6 km² complex in Bahia with a capacity for 600,000 vehicles per year, but the discovery of 163 workers in conditions analogous to slavery has shaken the entire project.
On the other hand, some positions faced reductions, directly affecting the strategy for team allocation by service-providing companies. The so-called “Fator-K”, used to calculate the total hiring cost, maintained a ceiling of 3, but now any value above that will require formal justification.
End of Labor Oversight and Mandatory CLT Bond
One of the most significant changes was the revocation of the obligation to verify compliance with labor regulations and to require that all allocated professionals have a CLT bond. This opens up space for more flexible hiring models, such as service provision by legal entities or cooperatives, which can reduce costs for companies, but also change the dynamics of labor protection.
The removal of the annex with the administrative oversight guidelines reduces bureaucracy but raises debates about potential impacts on legal security and working conditions.
Adjustments and Next Steps for Companies
Companies that already have active contracts will need to review adjustment clauses and negotiate adaptations with contracting agencies. For new contracts signed from September onward, the rules will be mandatory, including standardized job titles and minimum experience criteria.
Accountants and managers will also need to update cost spreadsheets and budget projections to incorporate the new values. The table with all updated positions and salaries is attached to the ordinance and serves as a reference for hiring throughout the Federal Executive.
Do you think that ending labor oversight and the CLT bond requirement in IT contracts will bring more agility or precarization of labor relations? Leave your opinion in the comments.
