Additional Hazard and Unhealthiness: Workers exposed to hazardous or unhealthy conditions have the right to additional payments ranging from 10% to 40% of their salary, depending on the severity of the situation.
Vacation Time: Every worker has the right to a period of vacation time of 30 days every 12 months of work, with remuneration increased by one-third.
FGTS (Pension Fund for Work Experience): The FGTS is an account linked to the employment contract, where the employer must deposit monthly 8% of the employee's salary, which can be withdrawn in situations such as unjustified termination or even for the purchase of real estate.
The employee has the right to receive the above-mentioned benefits and others resulting from the employment contract. Therefore, we have specialized team to prepare calculations and labor claims ensuring what is necessary.
On the other hand, we are also ready to defend you, employer, who has the right to a thorough analysis of all already collected fees and existence or non-existence of supplementary rights for the employee, avoiding unjust condemnations.
