More than a million workers have already been affected by the provisional measure that allowed the reduction of wages or the suspension of the employment contract during the pandemic of the new coronavirus, MP 936. The Ministry of Health released on Monday (13) . Economy, which promises to pay the part of unemployment insurance to which these workers will be entitled within 30 days.

And added that the government is finalizing an ordinance to regulate the format of these agreements. The ordinance must be published before Wednesday (15).
“The ordinance details the MP. It brings specific regulations so that everyone has more peace of mind when presenting their agreements. […] It shows the way in which the agreement is carried out and point by point of the procedural procedure in relation to the MP within the economy, “Bianco reported, noting that the more than a million agreements already received will continue to be valid, even if they are not They conform to the terms to be presented through the concierge.
Payment
Another point that should be clarified with this ordinance is the payment of the benefit promised by the government to these workers. After all, MP 936 says that anyone with a suspended employment contract can receive unemployment insurance that they would be entitled to if they were fired. Whoever has the reduced salary will also receive a part of this benefit: if the salary is reduced by 50%, the worker receives 50% of unemployment insurance, for example. The intermittent worker can receive an emergency benefit of R $ 600, which is being paid by Caixa and the Ministry of Citizenship.
However, at a press conference held at the Palacio do Planalto on Monday, the Ministry of Economy anticipated that the payment of this benefit will be made 30 days after the presentation of the agreement signed between the worker and the company.

The wage reduction or work contract suspension agreements provided for by MP 936 are valid if the unions make collective agreements that contradict the individual agreements previously made between workers and companies. The decision of Minister Ricardo Lewandowsky of the Federal Supreme Court (STF).
Bruno Bianco guaranteed, however, that Lewandowsky’s decision does not cause problems for the deputy. “We are sure that the MP is legally safe and now we have the STF minister’s sieve. A seal that provides more legal security,” the secretary said Monday.
He also recalled that the MP only allows individual agreements in some situations. When the salary reduction is 25%, the agreement is allowed in any salary range. But when the reduction is greater, the individual agreement can only be made when the worker earns up to three minimum wages (R $ 3,135.00) or more than two maximum limits of the General Social Security GPS System (R $ 12,202.12). If the salary ranges from R $ 3,135.00 to R $ 12,202.12, the MP already determines that the reduction must be made by collective agreement.
