valor.globo.com (Portuguese)

The Brazilian government has postponed, for the fourth time, the implementation of a decree modifying rules for Sunday and holiday work in the commerce sector. The deadline, initially set for July 1st, has been extended to March 1st, 2026, due to a lack of agreement between the government, worker representatives, and business associations. The decree, issued in November 2023, aimed to clarify regulations regarding holiday work. The Ministry of Labor and Employment stated the original decree restored legality, as the law requires collective bargaining for holiday work in the commerce sector.
