Workers in Brazil are entitled to double pay or compensatory time off for working on national holidays like Christmas and New Year's. Many essential service workers, including healthcare professionals and delivery drivers, work during the holidays. Brazilian law mandates special compensation for this work, with exceptions for collective bargaining agreements. Autonomous workers like app drivers are not covered by these specific holiday labor laws, and employers are urged to strictly adhere to regulations to avoid violations.
