Full tool FAQ
When dismissal without cause occurs, the employer must pay a 40% fine over the full FGTS balance at the date of dismissal. The government also charges an additional 10% contribution, but this goes to a fund and is not paid to the worker.
Frequently asked questions
Is the 40% FGTS penalty always included?
No. It is typical of a termination without cause and depends on the type of dismissal.
Does notice pay increase with tenure?
Yes. Its duration may increase with years worked, affecting the final severance amount.
