Adjustment raises the base salary for gas station attendants in Mato Grosso do Sul and increases income with bonuses, benefits, and specific rules from the collective agreement, highlighting the difference from the national minimum wage and new conditions for workers in the sector.
Effective since March, the new base salary for fuel station workers in Mato Grosso do Sul has been set at R$ 1,921.72, following a collective bargaining agreement that redefined values and expanded benefits for the category.
Combined with the 30% hazard pay, mandatory due to exposure to flammable fuels, the minimum monthly income reaches R$ 2,498.24, significantly increasing the effective remuneration received by professionals in the sector.
Although the amount has drawn attention, it does not change the current national minimum wage, as it is a regional base salary defined by a collective agreement and valid only for workers represented by Sinpospetro-MS.

Supermarket, gas station, pharmacy, and electricity bills all became more expensive at the same time in April. The IPCA-15 has accumulated 4.37% in 12 months, and experts warn that persistent inflation could stall interest rate cuts and reduce the purchasing power of families.
Gas station attendants’ base salary in MS rises by 7%
As a result of negotiations between category representatives, the applied adjustment was 7% over the previous base salary of R$ 1,796.00, establishing a new salary level that now serves as the minimum reference for active contracts.
Before the application of bonuses, the base salary was updated to R$ 1,921.72, reflecting the negotiated adjustment and serving as the basis for calculating other rights related to the work performed by the employees.
Considering the risk conditions involved in the job, the 30% hazard pay is applied directly to the base salary, increasing the monthly earnings to R$ 2,498.24 and making up the effective income received by the professionals.
For those who earn above the base salary, the adjustment is not automatically limited to the new established value; individual negotiation is provided for, as long as the minimum 7% increase guaranteed by the agreement is respected.
Expanded benefits with food vouchers and bonuses
In addition to the salary correction, the collective bargaining also brought adjustments to important benefits that make up the workers’ income, increasing values and including additional payments provided for in the new rules.
Among the changes, the food voucher now has a minimum value of R$ 330 per month, serving as a supplement to remuneration without being integrated into the base salary, as established by the conditions defined in the collective agreement.
A bonus payment of R$ 110 was also stipulated, to be paid by April 10, 2026, for employees hired by December 31, 2025, who were actively employed on the specified date.
Due to its compensatory nature, this amount is not part of the salary and does not affect labor charges, distinguishing it from regular payments such as fixed remuneration, legal bonuses, or overtime payments.
Vacation, bonuses, and life insurance included in the agreement
In the area of rights related to length of service, the agreement also incorporated additional benefits that expand the protection and appreciation of workers with longer tenure in the sector’s companies.
For employees with more than four years at the same company, a 10% bonus on their vacation pay was established, reinforcing the benefit already provided by law and increasing remuneration during this period.
Additionally, workers with more than eight years of service are now entitled to a retirement bonus, the value of which can reach up to three salaries, according to the criteria defined in the collective agreement.
Another measure included was the mandatory group life insurance, with a minimum coverage of R$ 25,000 in cases of death or disability, expanding the financial security offered to professionals in the category.
Difference from the national minimum wage
Meanwhile, the national minimum wage in effect in Brazil remains at R$ 1,621 in 2026, a value set by the federal government and used as a reference for social security, labor benefits, and formal contracts throughout the country.
The difference between this amount and the category’s base salary occurs because collective agreements can establish higher remuneration for certain sectors, without replacing the national minimum, but creating specific references according to the activity.
For 2027, the federal government has proposed a minimum wage of R$ 1,717 in the Budgetary Guidelines Bill, with a nominal increase of 5.92%, still subject to approval in the legislative process.
