Overview
- The government made the new pay‑slip format mandatory under Decreto 407/2026 with the change in effect since June 1 and a 120‑day window for full implementation by public and private employers.
- The model starts from the employer’s total labor cost and organizes information into four blocks: identifying data, employer contributions and cost, gross remuneration with deductions, and net pay.
- Each slip must include a pie chart that breaks down the percentage composition of the employer cost, showing items such as social security, health funds, ART and union levies.
- The reform does not change the net salary deposited to workers’ bank accounts but will likely generate questions, so HR teams are preparing explanatory communications to prevent misunderstandings.
- Practical rollout depends on payroll software updates and administrative changes such as electronic receipts, ARCA centralization, and the new Labor Assistance Fund set to start November 1.
