The deadline for receiving the second payment of the thirteenth salary has passed

The anticipation for the last days of December is great! Not only for celebrations, gift exchanges, and preparations for the new year, but also for the arrival of the second batch of the thirteenth salary. More than 38 million Brazilians are waiting for this feature, which is able to boost year-end shopping and contribute to Christmas dinner. After all, many people have been waiting a whole year for this Christmas treat to arrive.

This premium is entitled to all professionals, with payment made by employers in all areas of the economy. It is up to the employer to decide whether to pay in one payment or in two payments, but it is crucial that they respect the legal deadline for depositing this benefit.

What is the deadline and how does the 13th salary affect the economy?

Workers have until December 20 to receive the second installment of their thirteenth salary. According to data compiled by the Inter-Union Department of Statistics and Socio-Economic Studies (Dieese), the launch of the 13th salary has the potential to inject about R$250 billion into the Brazilian economy. A large amount would boost trade in such a crucial period as the end of the year season.

Who deserves the thirteenth salary?

Those who benefit from this right are retirees and pensioners who have already received advance payments from INSS. In December, the 13th will only be made available to those who have not previously received it.

However, it is important to emphasize: female workers dismissed for just cause are not entitled to the thirteenth salary, while female workers on maternity leave are entitled to this benefit. For those who are away from work due to sick pay, pay is slightly different. As a rule, the second installment of the tenth is less than the first, as there are some discounts.

How is the value of the thirteenth salary calculated?

To calculate the amount to be received, it is necessary to understand what constitutes this bonus. It is necessary to take into account overtime, tips, commissions, night shifts, unsanitary and hazardous conditions in the calculation. Don’t forget that businesses can deduct excused absences of more than 15 days. In this case, the loss is 1/12 of the thirteenth salary.

With this information, you can now use the calculator to find out the amount you will receive. This advantage is a right of workers and represents a significant circulation of resources in the country’s economy.
