Q & A

What is Descanso Semanal Remunerado (DSR)?

DSR, or Descanso Semanal Remunerado, is a legal right ensuring that workers receive at least 24 hours of paid rest after a full week of consecutive work, helping maintain a balance between work, health, and personal life.

What is the legal basis for DSR in Brazil?

DSR is mandated by Brazilian labor laws, including Article 67 of the CLT (Consolidation of Labor Laws), Article 7 (Inciso 15) of the Constitution, and Law 605/49, which ensures workers have the right to a weekly rest, preferably on Sundays.

Who is eligible to receive DSR?

All employees with formal contracts, including those with full-time, part-time, or intermittent work contracts, are entitled to DSR, provided they complete their full weekly work hours.

Can an employee lose their right to DSR?

Yes, employees may lose their entitlement to DSR if they fail to complete their weekly work hours, such as through unjustified absences, repeated tardiness, or leaving work early without prior approval.

How is DSR calculated?

DSR is calculated by dividing the employee's monthly salary by 30 days to find the daily value of the rest day. For example, if an employee earns R$ 3,000 per month, their DSR for each day of rest is R$ 100 (3,000 ÷ 30).

Do additional payments like overtime or commissions count in DSR calculations?

Yes, additional payments like overtime, commissions, and hazard pay are included in the DSR calculation, ensuring workers are compensated proportionally for their weekly rest.

How do you calculate DSR for overtime or commissions?

To calculate DSR for overtime or commissions, divide the total additional payment (e.g., overtime earnings) by 30 days, then multiply by the number of Sundays or holidays in that month to find the corresponding DSR amount.

Can you provide an example of how to calculate DSR for overtime?

If an employee earns R$ 500 for 10 hours of overtime in a month with 4 Sundays, divide R$ 500 by 30, resulting in R$ 16.67 per day. Then, multiply this by 4 (the number of Sundays), which gives R$ 66.68 as the DSR for overtime.

Why is it important for companies to track employees' attendance for DSR?

It is crucial for companies to track attendance and work hours carefully because unjustified absences, tardiness, or early departures can affect the employee's right to DSR. Accurate attendance tracking ensures transparency and compliance with labor laws.

How can digital payroll systems help with DSR calculations?

Digital payroll systems, like Solid's digital payroll tool, automate DSR calculations, making it easier to track employee work hours, ensure accuracy in payment, and maintain transparency in compliance with labor laws.
