Former Flamengo player Pará had been suing the club since 2021

Flamengo was found liable by the courts in a lawsuit filed by Pará, the club’s former full-back, in 2021. Now retired, the former player was seeking around R$ 4 million in labor rights related to the period in which he played for the Rubro-Negro, between 2015 and 2019.

According to information from ‘O Globo’, Pará was claiming differences in broadcasting rights payments, the inclusion of bonuses known as ‘bichos’, double vacation pay, paid weekly rest days, and pay for holidays worked. Thus, the judge in the case concluded that the former full-back did not enjoy the 24 consecutive hours of rest provided for under the Pelé Law.

The court ordered Flamengo to pay double for paid weekly rest days, as well as for holidays worked. Initially, the projected amount is R$ 500,000, which will also affect vacation pay, the 13th salary, and FGTS.

What are Pará’s numbers for Flamengo?

Flamengo completed the signing of Pará in January 2015, after agreeing on a loan deal with Grêmio. Then, in 2016, the Rubro-Negro signed the player on a permanent deal. Wearing the Sacred Shirt, the former full-back played 205 matches, with four goals and 18 assists.
