BE insists on proposal to protect workers during extreme weather phenomena
The Bloco de Esquerda (BE) has resubmitted a draft law to amend the Labour Code, proposing that workers be exempted from outdoor duties during orange or red weather warnings issued by IPMA without loss of pay. The proposal includes provisions for employers to reorganize tasks, reduce hours with 24-hour notice, or provide mandatory rest breaks when temperatures exceed 28 to 33 degrees Celsius depending on the environment.
Why it matters
This is a legislative proposal and not yet law, but if approved, it would guarantee your right to be excused from work or given specific rest breaks during extreme weather warnings without losing income.PúblicoRead original ↗
