President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva signed the bill on Tuesday evening that provides for the opening of a space in the 7.3 billion budget for the payment of the minimum wage for nurses throughout the country.
The proposal, which has yet to pass to Congress, provides for the opening of a special credit to the Union’s social security budget, in favor of the Ministry of Health.
With the resources it will be possible to pay the basic salary of nurses, technicians and nursing assistants and midwives, as required by a constitutional amendment approved in July last year.
Another law, from August 2022, established the minimum monthly salary for nurses at 4,750 reais. Nursing technicians will have a base of 3,325 reais and nursing assistants and midwives will have a reference of 2,375 reais.
Present at the signing ceremony this Tuesday in Brasilia, the Minister of Institutional Relations, Alexandre Padilha, said that next week Congress should analyze the proposal.
If passed, the bill will, in practice, allow for the payment of salary plans.
At the end of last year, Minister Luís Roberto Barroso, of the Federal Supreme Court (STF), had requested information from the National Congress precisely on the elaboration of the bill that regulates the constitutional amendment that deals with the national minimum wage for nurses .
