Durigan again criticizes compensation for ending 6x1 work schedule

Suomi

Finance Minister Dario Durigan reiterated his opposition on Tuesday to any financial compensation for companies due to the reduction in working hours in Brazil.

During a public hearing in the special commission of the Chamber of Deputies, Durigan said he is "radically against" compensations such as payroll tax relief. He argued that the ownership of working hours belongs to the employee, not the employer.

The minister acknowledged that some sectors may face higher costs, but stated that the impact will not be widespread. According to him, the reduction in working hours, such as the transition to the 5x2 schedule, has already been absorbed by the economy and could boost productivity, similar to the effects of minimum wage increases.

Durigan also noted that ending the 6x1 schedule should reduce informality by making formal work more attractive. The special commission continues its debates, with new hearings scheduled in the coming days.
