Can an employer reset a 'banco de horas' (time bank) to zero?
An employer is allowed to periodically reset a time bank balance to zero, but they cannot legally eliminate hours already worked without providing compensation. These hours must be compensated through time off, reduced working hours, payment as overtime, or other methods defined in a collective bargaining agreement.
Why it matters
If your employer resets your time bank balance to zero, you are still entitled to compensation for those hours; you should request your time and attendance records to ensure you were either paid or given the corresponding time off.SIC NotíciasRead original ↗
