Summary:
The Ministry of Labor and Employment, alongside representatives from labor and employer entities, has announced an agreement to regulate work on holidays. A new portaria, currently in its final stages, will be published after Carnival on February 19th. The decision is the result of extensive negotiations by the Mesa Nacional de Negociau00e7u00e3o, established to discuss regulations for the commercial sector. The portaria aims to correct an illegality in the 2021 portaria, which allowed work on holidays without collective bargaining, and confirms the 2000 law regulating commercial activity in general. Key points include:
The necessity of collective bargaining for work on holidays
Exceptions for specific sectors, such as gas stations and pharmacies, which will be listed in an annex to the portaria
A categorization system for businesses that can operate seven days a week, including hotels and other activities
Emphasis on the law's focus on wholesale and retail commerce, specifically purchases and sales of goods.
