Labor law and liability issues in Brazil

Overview

Public administrations in Northern Brazil, including Manaus, Belém, Porto Velho, and Palmas, face significant financial risks due to accumulated labor liabilities. These debts stem from irregular temporary hiring in the health and education sectors through Simplified Selection Processes (PSS) rather than official public exams.

Under Supreme Federal Court precedents, workers hired through these irregular means are entitled to retroactive FGTS deposits, unpaid wages, and potentially 13th-month salaries and proportional vacation pay if contracts were repeatedly extended. These judicial claims typically cover the previous five years.
