After Guaranteeing Exemption from Income Tax for Those Earning Up to R$ 5 Thousand, the Chamber of Deputies Organizes to Discuss the Amendment that May End the 6 for 1 Schedule and Establish a Weekly Work Schedule of 36 Hours.

After the approval of the bill that exempts from Income Tax people with a monthly income of up to R$ 5 thousand, deputies assess that the Chamber of Deputies can advance on another agenda considered relevant. This is Amendment 8/25, which provides for a reduction in the weekly work hours and the end of the famous 6 for 1 Schedule.

Authored by Deputy Érika Hilton, the proposal suggests the adoption of four days of work and three days of rest, with a limit of 36 weekly hours, replacing the current 44 hours.

The text is still awaiting dispatch from the Chamber President, Hugo Mota, to proceed with the legislative steps.

Support and Political Articulations

In an interview with the newspaper O Povo, Érika Hilton stated that the Labor Committee has shown willingness to discuss and vote on the amendment. According to her, the majority of the committee members are favorable to the processing. The deputy also mentioned that legislators from different states have begun local articulations to strengthen the debate.

Despite the considered receptive environment, the author emphasized that the progress of the project depends on the direction from Hugo Mota, who had already signaled to release the text but has not yet formally dispatched it.

Institutional Support and Next Steps

The deputy also informed that the president of the Superior Court of Justice (STJ) committed to putting the proposal on the agenda when it reaches his instance. Furthermore, she reported that she will have a meeting with Minister Gleisi Hoffmann to discuss the matter. According to Hilton, the Executive has initiated preliminary discussions, but still needs to define a more concrete participation in the process.

The planned process includes sending the text to the Constitution and Justice Committee (CCJ) and subsequently creating a special committee. If this plan advances within the schedule, there is a possibility of a vote in the Labor Committee still this year.

The main proposal provides for a four-day work week, but legislators indicated openness to discuss alternatives. Among them is the maintenance of the 5×2 model, with adjustments to the weekly workload.
