eSocial revision: recheck leave-event mappings

Original technical note: 4 September 2026 · Official revision: 24 September 2026

The 24 September revision of eSocial Technical Note S-1.3 No. 07/2026 changes temporary-leave validation and leave-reason codes. Payroll teams should use the revised specification when planning their software releases.

For S-2230, the revision removes the proposed indeterminate/no-CID value from the same-reason field and clarifies validation. This change is scheduled for production on 26 October 2026. Table 18 adds codes 52 and 53 and revises descriptions for codes 18, 20, 47, 48 and 51, with production scheduled for 14 December 2026. The note also retains other staged releases, including dependant-CPF and health-plan reimbursement changes scheduled for 23 November.

Our operational recommendation is to ask the payroll software provider for a release and testing plan, then identify which changes affect the company’s workforce. HR should validate source records before payroll closes; finance should confirm that benefit and reimbursement data reaches the local payroll team in a consistent format.

Keep a record of test results, rejected events and their resolution. A global payroll approval should be supported by confirmation that the Brazilian events were accepted. Check the official schedule again before each deployment, because implementation dates may change.

These dates are planned technical deployments, not a newly announced immediate filing obligation. Check the official schedule before implementation.
