Earlier, SENAI was maintained with the "monthly collection of 2000 reis per employee of the affiliated companies to the National Confederation of Industry. This system was amended on 5 February 1944, when the collection corresponded to 1% of the industries’ total payroll", according to the book “Histórias e percursos – O departamento nacional do SENAI (1942-2002)". For more information on this, read the Decree Law No. 6.246/1944.
