Salaries with adjustments for most categories of employees of the Federal Executive Branch will be paid after the sanction of the Annual Budget Law (LOA) of 2025. The legislation will be assessed and voted on by the National Congress, which is scheduled for February. The adjustments, agreed between the government and the categories, are valid from January 1st of this year. 
Provisional Measure 1,286, which defined salary adjustments, was published on December 31st of last year in the Official Gazette of the Union (DOU). Occupants of commissioned functions and positions were also covered by the measure, but are valid from February 1st.
The average accumulated adjustment for civil servants until 2026 will be 27%, a percentage that includes the 9% granted in 2023, after an agreement reached at the negotiation table.
Budget
This year, the salary adjustment will have a primary impact of R$16.2 billion on Executive personnel expenses. This amount is foreseen in the Budget bill sent to the National Congress in 2024. In 2026, it should be approximately R$8 billion.
Last year, the rapporteur of the 2025 Budget (PLN 26/24), senator Angelo Coronel (PSD-BA), announced that the vote was postponed to February in view of the changes in the text caused by the approval of fiscal adjustment projects and the promulgation of the new Constitutional Amendment that changes the salary bonus.
“Valuation”
According to the Minister of Management, Esther Dweck, the salary adjustment for civil servants is part of a broader process of changes in favor of valuing and recognizing professionals.
“We reactivated the negotiating table after seven years of deactivation, and many servers spent four to six years without any readjustment,” said the minister at a press conference at the end of last year.
