Standard Hours of Work in Brazil
Working Hour Limits
In Brazil, standard work hours are 40 hours a week with eight hours daily, Monday to Friday, including a one-hour lunch break. Weekly hours can’t exceed 44 hours. Collective bargaining agreements may require that employees work fewer than 44 hours per week.
Work Culture
Work culture in Brazil emphasizes personal relationships and social interactions. Brazilians prefer face-to-face meetings and building trust through informal chats before getting down to business. While punctuality is respected, meeting start times are more flexible. Brazilians work hard during the week but also value their free time and life outside of the office.
