compensating for this work on Saturdays Explanation: The normal working week in Brazil is 44 hours - 8 hours per day from Mon to Fri, and 4 hours on Saturday. The article mentioned, reproduced below, says that extra work (more than 8 hours) on one day can be compensated for by working less on another day. If this agreement is in place, the work in excess of 8 hours on a given day does not have to be paid at a higher rate (overtime). (The Brazilian Constitution decrees that overtime must be paid at a rate 50% higher than normal hours!) The agreement above says that work exceeding 8 hours will not be paid at overtime rate as it will be compensated for on Saturdays. I.e. the employee will work less hours on Saturday to compensate for the extra hours worked on a day between Monday and Friday. The complete Consolidation of Labor Laws (CLT) can be found at the link below. § 2º - Poderá ser dispensado o acréscimo de salário se, por força de acordo ou convenção coletiva de trabalho, o excesso de horas em um dia for compensado pela correspondente diminuição em outro dia, de maneira que não exceda, no período máximo de um ano, à soma das jornadas semanais de trabalho previstas, nem seja ultrapassado o limite máximo de dez horas diárias.
