Thirteenth salary: understand the right, rules and payment deadlines

"On December 18, 2024, the Ministry of Labor and Employment issued an update regarding Thirteenth salary: understand the right, rules and payment deadlines. The thirteenth salary is a constitutional right for all employed workers in Brazil, paid as a yearly gratification that can be paid fully or proportionally, depending on the time served." "The payment deadline for the full thirteenth salary is due to workers who worked throughout the year, while proportional payments occur when employees were hired mid-year, calculated based on months worked."
