Brazil labor rights and wage transparency

Overview

Brazil is addressing labor disparities through both regulatory mandates and the identification of systemic inequalities in specific sectors.

Under Law 14.611/2023, the Ministry of Labor and Employment has established an August 31 deadline for companies with 100 or more employees to submit data regarding remuneration and gender pay gaps. Failure to comply with these transparency requirements via the Portal Emprega Brasil can result in fines of up to 3% of a company's payroll.

These efforts coincide with data highlighting significant wage gaps and informality in the domestic work sector. In 2024, approximately 92.2% of the 5.9 million domestic workers in Brazil were women, with an average monthly income of R$ 1,231—substantially lower than the national average for employed women. While Complementary Law 150/2015 provides legal protections for domestic workers, the sector continues to face a high informality rate of 75.9%.
