How the calculation works

  • The 13th salary and vacation with the 1/3 bonus are provisioned month by month (1/12 of salary, and 1/12 of salary plus 1/3).
  • FGTS, employer INSS, RAT and third-party contributions apply to the salary and also to the 13th salary and vacation provisions.
  • For the transport voucher, the company pays the portion above 6% of the salary.
  • Overtime, additional pay (night shift, unhealthy or hazardous work), the FAP adjustment, occupational exams, uniforms and recruitment or training costs are not included.
