Brazil's top court allows wage garnishment below 50 minimum wages
Original: penhora do salário
Brazil's Superior Court of Justice has ruled that salaries below 50 minimum wages can be garnished to pay off debts, a shift from the long-standing near-absolute protection of wages from seizure. Commenters and legal observers are weighing what the decision means for indebted workers and creditors, with many searching for explanations of how the new rules will work in practice.
Why now: A fresh STJ ruling changing wage garnishment rules is drawing widespread attention from Brazilian workers worried about their salaries.
