The Federal Constitution prohibits any kind of commercialization of blood, as it believes that blood donation should be voluntary, anonymous and altruistic, should not the donor, directly or indirectly, receive any compensation because of their achievement.

However, there are some standards that guarantee benefits to donors as a way to encourage the practice.

Every donor has guaranteed the Consolidation of Labor Laws (CLT) the right to be absent from work without discount in salary for one (1) day in each twelve (12) months of work, to make voluntary blood donation.

Regarding the half price, there is no federal law guaranteeing this right to donors throughout Brazil, however, several state and local laws dealing with the subject. The states of Parana and Espirito Santo, for example, guarantee that right to specific regulations.

By donating blood, find out if your state or county have some incentive to practice. If there is a law, establishments must respect it, ensuring the benefit through proof. Have your card-always updated donation, know what forms to enjoy this benefit and do assert their rights.
