Brazilian labor court rulings on employment rights

Overview

Brazilian labor courts have issued various rulings addressing wrongful termination, discrimination, and employee conduct. These decisions cover a range of issues, including dismissals for cause due to inappropriate behavior, weight-based humiliation, and bullying related to hair loss.

Specific focus has been placed on cases involving vulnerable workers. The Superior Labor Court (TST) increased an indemnity to R$ 30,000 for a worker dismissed after requesting a shift change to comply with a protective order against a domestic abuser who was also an employee. The court ruled the dismissal was discriminatory and carried a “clear gender bias,” citing the Maria da Penha Law and international standards to prevent the normalization of violence against women.
