In July 2017 the Brazilian government sanctioned Law 13.467, which amended the provisions of the Consolidation of Labor Laws (CLT) and regulated the criteria for setting the amount due as compensation for moral injury or non-material damages. Paragraph 1 of art. 223-G of the CLT, that introduced by Law 13.467/17, classified the injury into four separate levels and set the compensation calculation based on the employee's last contractual salary. Nevertheless, the Federal Constitution of 1988 establishes in art. 5, V and X, the principle of “unrestricted compensation”, that is contrary to any pricing practice or limitation of the amount of the compensation. Thus, this paper analyzes art. 223-G, paragraph 1, of the CLT, under the Federal Constitution, in order to investigate the constitutionality of its provisions. The investigation consisted in a bibliographic research and jurisprudential analysis of the Brazilian Superior Court and the Brazilian Supreme Court. It was found that the pricing method provided in the CLT is in conflict with the Federal Constitution, insofar as it makes it impossible to fix the compensation in the exact extent of the injury, as determined by art. 5, V and X, of CF/88.
