PAYSLIP IN #BITCOIN
A bill presented to the Chamber of Deputies by parliamentarian Luiz Philippe de Orleans e Bragança (PL-SP) seeks to allow companies to pay up to 50% of employees' salaries in digital assets, such as cryptocurrencies.
Bill 957/2025 was presented last month and proposes that payments can be made as long as there is an individual written agreement between the parties. The proposal amends Article 463 of the CLT, which currently requires that salaries be paid exclusively in the national currency, the real.
According to the text, companies that adopt this payment method must guarantee salary irreducibility and provide detailed statements containing the gross amount in reais, the percentage paid in cryptocurrencies, and the conversion rate used, in addition to other applicable deductions.
The project also stipulates that employers must offer free financial education programs to employees who choose to receive part of their salary in cryptocurrencies, covering basic concepts about virtual assets, market risks, and transaction security.
Payments in cryptocurrencies to modernize legislation
In his justification, the deputy argues that the measure seeks to "modernize Brazilian labor legislation," "align it with technological innovations and new dynamics of the digital market."
He cites countries such as Switzerland, Japan, and Portugal, which already allow similar practices, although the legislation in those countries has restrictions on paying salaries in other currencies or the topic is little known and disseminated among the local population.
