Briefings

Brazilian Minister of Finance Dario Durigan announced a government plan to provide credit lines and training programs for businesses affected by the end of the 6x1 work schedule. The ministry stated that while the constitutional amendment's impact will be evaluated, specific financing for transition is being prepared. Durigan highlighted that approximately 68% to 70% of jobs in Brazil are outside the 6x1 scale and that the government aims to support businesses needing resources for adaptation, including modernization and technology adoption.

Key points

The ministry's plan aims to help businesses adapt to this new workday structure through targeted financial support and capacity building initiatives.
