If approved in all instances, amendment 16 will grant new rights to domestic employees
SAO PAULO - The House of Representatives passed the first round in the PEC (Proposed Amendment to the Constitution) of the Domestic - 478/10 - which aims to increase the benefits for the category, as the right daycare for the employer, the workday 44 hours per week and additional night.
In total, 16 are currently already secured rights to other urban workers, which may be worth spending for workers as nannies, cooks, and other staff residences.
Mrs Carmen Zanotto (PPS-SC) said the proposal will fix "a big mistake" of the 1988 Constitution, guaranteeing rights to unemployment insurance, FGTS (Guarantee Fund for Time of Service) and insurance against accidents at work. "Nothing more fair than giving those rights to this group of the population," he said.
As reported to the House, it is estimated that in Brazil there are today 7.2 million domestic workers.
