Brazilian labor courts block leggings uniform rule and overturn dismissal over four‑minute overtime

A Brazilian labor court issued a provisional ruling ordering a fuel station in Guajará‑Mirim, Rondônia, to stop requiring female attendants to wear leggings as part of their uniform. The judge gave the company 24 hours to cease the practice and mandated that it provide free uniforms matching those worn by male staff within ten days, imposing a daily fine of one thousand reais for non‑compliance.

In a separate case, a Minas Gerais labor court reversed the dismissal of a food‑industry worker in Uberlândia. The judge found that staying four minutes beyond the daily shift limit did not constitute a serious breach sufficient to justify termination. The decision noted the lack of evidence of repeated misconduct and sent the matter to the Superior Labor Court for further review.
