In May 2026, ministers of the Supreme Federal Court (STF) issued strong warnings to the Courts of Justice (TJs) and Public Prosecutor’s Offices (MPs) of several states, reinforcing the prohibition on the creation of new salary benefits, known as “perks.” Ministers Flávio Dino, Gilmar Mendes, Alexandre de Moraes, and Cristiano Zanin led this initiative, publishing joint decisions prohibiting practices interpreted as attempts to circumvent the constitutional salary cap. Main Points of the Warning: Total Prohibition of New Perks: The creation of new bonuses, indemnities, or allowances not provided for in federal law is prohibited. Circumventing the STF Decision: The warning was motivated by 14 initiatives mapped in eight states (including SP, RJ, BA, CE, MG, PR, RS, PA) that created or discussed new allowances after the STF limited such payments on March 25, 2026. Paycheck Unique: The ministers prohibited the payment of compensation allowances in separate payslips, requiring that all amounts appear on a single payslip. Reclassification of Judicial Districts: The reclassification of judicial districts as “difficult to fill” or “difficult to access” to justify bonuses was vetoed. Responsibility of Authorities: The Supreme Court warned that non-compliance with these determinations may result in criminal, civil, and administrative liability for presidents of State Courts of Justice and attorneys general. This action is part of a larger crackdown on indirect salary increases in the Judiciary and Public Prosecutor’s Office, ensuring that the constitutional salary cap is respected, limiting additional payments to 35% of the cap, set at R$ 46,300, in accordance with Supreme Court decisions.
