The reduction of working hours has become a surprise element within the reforms proposed by the Ministry of Labor. Not only is an agreement sought to be established to limit daily working time, but the intention to legally strengthen daily time recording is also introduced. Although this practice has been mandatory since 2019 in all companies, it is often not applied correctly, or even, in many cases, is not complied with as it should be, an issue frequently denounced by unions and recognized by the Ministry of Labor itself.
Daily time control is essential to guarantee compliance with labor regulations and ensure that workers do not exceed the hours legally established. With this initiative, the Ministry of Labor aims to address this issue, strengthening regulations for more rigorous time recording.
The negotiation, which began on January 25, will not only seek to establish a fairer working day, but also to improve daily time control processes. Timenet will closely follow this evolution, as these changes could have a significant impact on the work dynamics of many companies. We will be attentive to how this initiative by the Ministry of Labor may influence time management and work practices in companies.
