Law 14,434/2022 was sanctioned by the Presidency of the Republic , which created the national salary floor for nurses, nursing technicians, nursing assistants and midwives. The norm was published in this Friday's edition (5) of the Official Gazette.
From now on, nurses must receive at least BRL 4,750 per month. Nursing technicians must receive at least 75% of this (R$ 3,325). Nursing assistants and midwives must receive at least 50% of this amount (R$ 2,375).
President Jair Bolsonaro, however, vetoed the annual floor correction, which would be made by the National Consumer Price Index (INPC). Members of the opposition, such as Senator Fabiano Contarato (PT-ES), author of the project that gave rise to this law, and Senator Zenaide Maia (Pros-RN), who was the rapporteur for the matter, have already announced that they will mobilize for the overthrow of the veto.
