Working hours
Minimum wages are calculated on an hourly, weekly and monthly basis. The basis of minimum wage per hour applies to the workers who work less than eight hours or less than forty four hours weekly, in part-time. To the domestic workers, the minimum wage is calculated by the hours worked. The Consolidation of Labour Laws provided the minimum wage per hour to the lowest-apprentice workers for a maximum workweek of 30 hours, in part-time (Salário mínimo especial - Regime Geral de Previdência Social (RGPS) - Portal Brasil, Federal Goverment - Art. 428 of the CLT).<br/>The minimum wage is fixed in full-time in 8 hours per day of working or 44 weekly hours. Can be reduced to part-time workers (Portal Brasil, Federal Goverment).
