Court Allows Employee to 'Dismiss' Employer for Receiving Lower Salary

Luiz Eduardo Amaral, partner in the labor area, discussed the application of articles 461 and 483 of the CLT. He explained that article 461 sets the rules for salary equality between employees of the same company, while article 483 addresses situations that guarantee the right to indirect termination. The TST combined these two articles to determine that, in certain cases, the employee has the right to "dismiss" the employer, thus ensuring the labor rights provided by law.
