STF forms majority on the topic
This Friday (29), the Federal Supreme Court (STF) formed a majority vote to order Congress to approve a law to guarantee the implementation of paternity leave.
According to the decision, parliamentarians will have 18 months to create the benefit rules. If not approved, paternity leave must follow the rules for maternity leave, which is 120 days.
By 7 to 1, the majority of ministers voted to declare Congress’s failure to regulate parental leave, which was guaranteed in the Constitution, but has not been regulated since its promulgation.
The Court’s decision was taken based on an action filed in 2012 by the National Confederation of Health Workers (CNTS). The trial takes place in the virtual plenary and runs until October 6th.
Using the virtual modality, ministers enter votes into the electronic system and there is no in-person deliberation. The trial is opened with the vote of the rapporteur. Then, the other ministers vote until the deadline established by the system.
