About this statute

Meal-allowance amounts paid by the employer must be used to pay for meals at restaurants or similar establishments, or to buy food at commercial establishments. This article says the law covers payment of meal allowance to employees and amends Law No. 6,321/1976 and the Labour Code. Employers must give priority to employees with disabilities and to employees with children or a child under judicial custody up to 4 years old when filling telework or remote-work roles. O uso inadequado, o desvio ou o uso fora da finalidade do auxílio-alimentação pode gerar multa para empregadores, empresas emissoras e, em certos casos, o estabelecimento credenciado e a empresa que o credenciou. Article 7 is marked vetoed.
