Brazil labor debt update ADC 58 Law 14905
Correcting a Brazilian labor debt is not multiplying the amount by a single index: between the credit due date and the calculation target date, at least two legal milestones swap the applicable index partway through, and ignoring that stitching is the most common mistake in liquidation math.
This is the only segment grounded in article 39 of Law 8,177/1991; if the credit arose after the lawsuit was already filed, this segment simply does not exist.
No interest is added separately here: the SELIC index for the period is itself the full rate applied to the balance, which is the core of what the ADC 58 ruling decided.
Some TST rulings write this index as "IPCA-E" instead of "IPCA" due to a wording divergence; that is why the post-cutoff index parameter is adjustable, and it is worth checking which wording the specific ruling used.
IPCA-E for monetary correction and TRD for interest (art. 39 of Law 8.177/1991), per the STF's ADC 58. This is the pre-lawsuit phase, from the claim period to the filing.
Because the Brazilian Supreme Court (ADC 58/59) and later Congress (Law 14,905/2024) changed the labor debt correction regime on specific dates; applying today one regime index to a period governed by another produces a value with no valid legal basis for that segment.
Exclusive SELIC gives way to IPCA (correction) plus the Legal Rate (interest) combined, two components added separately instead of a single rate; this is the date Law 14,905/2024 and the TST transition ruling take effect.
No; it only shows up when the credit due date predates the lawsuit filing date. If the debt arose after the lawsuit was already underway, the calculation starts directly in the SELIC regime or the post-Aug-30-2024 regime, depending on the date.
They are different IBGE indices (IPCA-E is the special version traditionally used for court-ordered payments and judicial correction); Law 14,905/2024 wording refers to IPCA, but part of TST case law still writes IPCA-E out of drafting habit, so it is worth checking which one the specific ruling names.
