Brazil Cut the Working Week to 40 Hours Without Cutting Pay. Guyana's Minister Pointed at That Market a Day Earlier.

Brazil's Senate approved a constitutional amendment on 14 October 2026 reducing the maximum working week from 44 hours to 40 with no salary cut, by 75 votes to 1 in each of two rounds. Businesses have 14 months to adopt it. It passed eleven days before a presidential runoff.
