What is Overtime (horas extras)?

Overtime is hours worked beyond the schedule, legal (8h/day, 44h/week) or contractual, owed with a premium of at least 50% — and with reflex effects on weekly rest, vacation, the 13th salary and the severance fund.

The defense of overtime is decided on the proof of working time: the time records. Regular and reliable records refute the claim; the absence or irregularity of the record weighs against the company.

Observed grant pattern: about 56% of merits decisions on this award (base: real Labor Court cases). It is one of the most litigated themes — and where the time record decides.
