How it works
What is included
On a dismissal without cause the employer pays the salary balance for days worked, paid notice, the prorated 13th salary and vacation (with the constitutional third), overdue vacation and a 40% fine on the FGTS balance.
Assumptions used
Assumptions (all editable): dismissal without cause with paid notice; notice of 30 days plus 3 per complete year, up to 90; 13th salary and vacation prorated by month worked, with the vacation third; 40% fine on the FGTS balance you enter. INSS and income tax are not deducted and the notice is not projected onto the 13th salary and vacation. Check your own case, collective agreement and termination statement.
Formula
How to calculate
R is the total, S the salary, d the days worked in the month, a the notice days (30 plus 3 per complete year, up to 90), D the prorated 13th salary, F vacation with 1/3 and M the 40% FGTS fine.
Example
With round numbers, so you can check the math:
With a salary of R$3,000.00, 2 years at the company and an FGTS balance of R$10,000.00, severance items add up to R$8,766.67 and, with the 40% fine (R$4,000.00), the total is R$12,766.67. Notice is 36 days (R$3,600.00).
Frequently asked questions
What if I work during the notice period?
Then the notice is not paid separately: you receive your normal salary in that period. Here the notice is paid, which is when the employer waives the work.
Does the FGTS balance count in the total?
No. The balance is yours and is withdrawn separately; the total adds only the 40% fine paid by the employer.
