The president of the Chamber of Deputies, Hugo Motta, stated this Tuesday (10) that the Proposed Amendment to the Constitution (PEC) that ends the 6×1 work schedule should be voted on in May.
Last Monday (9), Motta announced the sending of the text to the Constitution and Justice Commission (CCJ). After analysis by the board, the proposal will go to a special committee and, if approved, will be taken to the Chamber plenary.
In a publication on the social network X, the president of the House highlighted that Brazil needs to keep up with the transformations caused by technological developments. According to him, the debate will be conducted with the participation of society and the productive sector:
“The world has evolved, technologies have developed and Brazil cannot be left behind. We will lead the discussion by listening to society and the productive sector, with the expectation of voting in May.”
According to Motta, the expectation is to conclude the discussion and put the PEC to a vote in May.
HOW DOES THE PROPOSAL WORK?
The proposal presented by deputy Erika Hilton establishes changes to the working hours provided for in the Constitution. The text defines that the regular workload cannot exceed eight hours per day, will have a limit of 36 hours per week and will be distributed over four days per week. If approved, the new rules would come into effect 360 days after promulgation.
The PEC modifies a constitutional section that deals with the rights of urban and rural workers and can now advance to debate in the Chamber of Deputies.
