STF has 4 votes to keep the start of the 5x2 schedule in December
Liminal authorizes flexibility in the work schedule during the transition
The Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF) registered on Friday (13) four votes to refer to the injunction that established transition rules for the beginning of the 5x2 work scale.
Yesterday, Minister Flávio Dino, who is the rapporteur of the case, allowed the new 42-hour weekly workload to be distributed over five working days, with up to 8 hours and 24 minutes, during the transition.
In addition, the minister maintained the implementation of the new scale until December 16 of this year.
To date, Ministers Alexandre de Moraes, Cármen Lúcia and Gilmar Mendes have followed the rapporteur's vote.
The virtual voting is scheduled to be finalized on Monday (16).
End of scale 6x1
In a landmark decision, the Federal Senate last month approved the end of the 6x1 scale of work. With this, the worker begins to have two days per week of paid rest, on a maximum day of 5x2, without salary reduction. In addition, the current workday of 44 to 40 hours per week will have a 14-month transition rule.
The measure was approved at the time with votes of the governmental base and the opposition. The text had already been approved by the Chamber of Deputies.
The end of the scale was celebrated by entities representing workers. For the category, the new day will allow the worker to have more contact with the family and to be able to dedicate himself to other activities and study.
A survey conducted in February this year by Nexus showed that 73% of Brazilians support the end of the 6x1 scale.
