Brazil implements gradual end of 6x1 work schedule

Overview

The Brazilian National Congress has promulgated Constitutional Amendment 141, officially ending the ‘6x1’ work schedule. The reform transitions workers to a 5x2 model with two weekly rest days, reducing the maximum weekly workload from 44 to 40 hours without salary reductions. Implementation is gradual: companies must adopt a 42-hour limit by December 15, 2026, reaching the 40-hour cap by December 16, 2027.

Economic sectors continue to anticipate significant impacts. The private education sector expects increased fixed costs that may be passed on to tuition fees, while the food service industry faces operational shifts, with estimates suggesting the need to hire approximately 147,000 additional employees to maintain service levels. To manage continuous operations, many businesses, particularly restaurants in São Paulo shopping centers, are adopting the 12x36 model (12 hours of work followed by 36 hours of rest). While this model can reduce costs like transportation vouchers, legal experts note it may require further adjustments to meet the eventual 40-hour limit.

The federal government is currently discussing a decree to regulate exceptions for atypical work regimes, such as aviation workers and shift workers. Additionally, the Presidency’s Social Communication Secretariat (Secom) has issued alerts regarding misinformation. The government clarified that Amendment 141 has not been altered following elections and denied rumors of cuts to social welfare programs like Bolsa Família and Gás do Povo, noting that the Executive branch cannot modify a promulgated amendment.
