There is a question that seems to hover over the vast majority of Brazilian employers: if the employee's workday is reduced, can be alleviated their salary or even already be incorporated into the employee's rights?
Well! Recent decision of the Third Chamber of the Superior Labor Court once again upheld the view that seems to be consolidating: no illegality in mitigation if the new remuneration is proportional to the reduced workweek and the employee nod to the change.
Ie reducing the journey must be requested by the employee or have your express consent and the new compensation should be given for the amount of time previously practiced. If such precautions are taken, the employer may reduce the salary of the employees who have a reduction in working hours, without offense to set up a constitutional right to wage irreducibility.
