Another topic that could generate confusion in Congress is possible tax compensation for companies, mainly in the productive sector such as agribusiness, industry and services.
Federal deputy Leo Prates (Republicanos-BA), chosen as rapporteur for the PEC that discusses the end of the 6×1 working day, stated that he will seek “a balance point between the advances that workers want with the minimum protection that entrepreneurs deserve”. The statement was made during an interview with the program 3 em 1, led by Cassius Zeilmann.
The parliamentarian said that the special committee’s work plan will be presented next Tuesday (5) and that he has a favorable position for a transition rule for the implementation of the proposal. Leo Prates defends the transition of working hours in two years, with a reduction from 44 hours a week to 42 in the first year, and from 42 hours to 40 in the second year.

The rapporteur also reinforced that the report will prioritize workers — especially women, who, according to him, are the majority among those who comply with the 6×1 scale. For Leo Prates “there is no social price that a government can pay to rebuild our families”.
One of the challenges, in addition to finding solutions to the differences between the government base and the opposition, will be finding a “middle text”, balanced between the different positions of the 513 deputies.
As it is a PEC (Proposed Amendment to the Constitution), the text requires approval by at least two thirds of the Chamber, which means 308 votes.
