This is the amount corresponding to the time of service provided, including proportional vacations, proportional thirteenth salary and other benefits.
Although it is a right guaranteed by law, many workers still have doubts about how to request and receive severance pay.
In this article, we will explain the step-by-step process so that you can receive the amount you are entitled to.
What is withdrawal-termination?
Severance pay is a right guaranteed by law to Brazilian workers who have a formal employment contract and were dismissed without just cause, that is, when the employer decides to terminate the employment contract without the employee having committed any serious misconduct.
This right allows the worker to receive an amount corresponding to various employment benefits, such as proportional vacation, proportional 13th salary, advance notice and salary balance, which are due to the worker upon termination of the employment contract.
How to safely withdraw your withdrawal
Severance pay is a way of helping workers who have lost their jobs, ensuring that they receive the amounts they are entitled to to assist in the transition period and help cover expenses while they look for a new job opportunity.
Check your service time
Before requesting a severance pay, it is important that you check your length of service. To do this, consult your work record and check all the notes relating to your previous employment contracts.
Furthermore, if you worked in informal jobs, without a formal employment record, you can prove your length of service through union statements, pay slips or witnesses.
Request approval of termination
Termination approval is the process in which the employer and the employee formalize the termination of the employment contract. This process must be carried out at the union or at the Ministry of Labor.
To request approval, you must contact your employer and schedule a date and time to appear at the indicated location.
It is important to bring all necessary documents, such as your work card, proof of notice and termination of employment contract.
Wait for the calculation of the withdrawal-termination
After the termination is approved, the employer must calculate the amount to be paid to the employee. This amount must include proportional vacation, proportional thirteenth salary, compensated notice and other termination payments.
The employer has up to ten days to calculate the severance pay and make the payment to the employee.
Receive the amount of the termination withdrawal
After calculating the severance pay amount, the employer must make the payment to the employee. This payment can be made in cash, deposited into a checking account or by means of a prepaid credit card.
If the employer does not make the payment within the period stipulated by law, the employee may file a lawsuit in the Labor Court to collect the amount due.
Check if the values are correct
After receiving the withdrawal amount, it is important that you check that all the amounts are correct.
If you identify any difference or error in the values, it is important that you contact your employer to correct the situation.
If it is not possible to resolve the problem with the employer, you can file a lawsuit in the Labor Court to collect the correct amount.
Use money wisely
After receiving your severance pay, it is important that you use the money wisely. This amount can be used to pay off debts, invest in your professional career or even to carry out a personal project.
However, it is important that you avoid spending all of your money at once. It is recommended that you make a financial plan and set aside a portion of the money you receive for emergencies and unforeseen events.
Conclusion
Requesting and receiving severance pay is a right guaranteed by law to Brazilian workers. However, many still have doubts about how to carry out this process.
In this article, we present a step-by-step guide so that you can correctly request and receive the withdrawal-termination payment.
Remember to check your length of service, request approval of the termination, wait for the termination withdrawal calculation, receive the amount and check if the amounts are correct.
