Summary
The article reports on how a Brazilian Supreme Court (STF) decision that limited additional salary perks ("penduricalhos") for public servants has been undermined by subsequent regulatory loopholes. Organizations that monitor the Judiciary and civil service warn that leave rules are increasingly being used to circumvent the STF's limitation. Specifically, the article highlights that the Council of the Federal Justice (CJF) and the Attorney General's Office (PGR) relaxed rules last year, allowing judges and prosecutors to split their 60 days of annual vacation into up to 12 periods of 5 days each, which critics say creates new avenues for maintaining benefits.
