What to do, step by step
-
Compare what appears in your work card and contract with the tasks you actually perform at Centro Universitário São Camilo.
-
Keep evidence: emails, schedules, messages, job descriptions and internal notices showing the tasks performed.
-
For pay equalization, the law requires, among other conditions, the same role, work of equal value, the same location and a difference of no more than 4 years of service at the company and 2 years in the role (art. 461 of the CLT (Brazilian Labor Code)).
-
Absent an express clause, the employee is understood to have agreed to work compatible with their personal condition (art. 456, sole paragraph, of the CLT); therefore, each case depends on the contract and the tasks.
-
Contact your trade union, the MTE (Ministry of Labor and Employment, Disque 158) or a lawyer; a claim must be filed within 2 years after the contract ends.

Frequently asked questions
Does job deviation entitle me to higher pay?
It may, depending on the case, when the tasks performed correspond to a better-paid position and an applicable rule exists. The analysis is individual.
Can I request pay equalization with a colleague who has already left?
It may be possible, under the requirements of art. 461 of the CLT, but you must identify the colleague used as the comparator (paradigma) and prove the requirements. Each case requires analysis.
How can I prove job deviation?
With documents, messages, emails, schedules and witnesses describing the tasks actually performed.
