The proposal to end the 6x1 work schedule — a model in which workers work six days and rest only one — has advanced to the final stage of analysis in the Chamber of Deputies. The rapporteur for the matter, Deputy Leo Prates (Republicanos-BA), presented the schedule for its processing in the special committee responsible for discussing the merits of reducing working hours.
According to the parliamentarian, the report will be presented on May 20th, opening a period for analysis by the members of the committee before the vote. “The idea is to allow for a collective review after the presentation of the report. A week later, on May 26th, the parliamentarians will be able to vote on whether or not to approve the report,” stated Prates. The information is from the website [website address would go here]. UOL.
The special committee was established precisely to analyze the content of the proposal and its practical impacts. This stage is considered the last before the text goes to a vote in the Chamber's plenary session, where all deputies can participate in the decision.
Hugo Motta sets dates.
According to the rapporteur, the timeline was aligned with the Speaker of the House, Hugo Motta, which indicates an intention to expedite the process this semester.
The debate over ending the 6x1 work schedule has mobilized different sectors, as the model is widely adopted in areas such as commerce and services. The proposal discusses changes in the organization of the workday, a topic that involves the interests of both workers and employers.
During the special committee's work, discussions are expected with parliamentarians and other guests who may contribute to the analysis of the proposal's merits. This type of committee usually hears different points of view before voting on the final report.
Debates and participation in the committee
To date, the names of the guests who will be invited to speak at the committee's upcoming meetings have not been publicly disclosed.
If the report is approved by the special committee on May 26, the text will go to the plenary session of the Chamber of Deputies. If it advances to this stage, it will still need to be analyzed by the Senate before any possible presidential approval. "The idea is to allow a collective review after the report is presented. A week later, on May 26, parliamentarians will be able to vote on whether or not to approve the report," reveals Prates.
