Rio de Janeiro labor and welfare regulations

Overview

The state of Rio de Janeiro has implemented new regulations aimed at improving working conditions and welfare for specific groups.

In early October, a decree was issued mandating that all state public agencies and entities establish breastfeeding support rooms. These spaces must meet specific sanitary and infrastructure standards, including washbasins, dedicated refrigeration for milk storage with temperature monitoring, and recommended seating for female employees. Agencies are granted 180 days to complete these adaptations.

Later in the month, the Legislative Assembly of the State of Rio de Janeiro (Alerj) approved Law 11.119/26, which requires app-based delivery platforms to provide support points for workers. These facilities must offer access to bathrooms, potable water, resting areas, dining facilities, parking, Wi-Fi, and mobile charging stations. The law stipulates that delivery platforms must bear all implementation and maintenance costs, with penalties for non-compliance.
