What is FGTS (severance fund)?

FGTS is the Severance Indemnity Fund — a monthly deposit of 8% of pay into a tied account. In litigation, the dispute is over deposits not made and the 40% penalty on the balance upon dismissal without cause.

The proof is objective: the FGTS statement and the payroll.

Observed grant pattern: about 72% of merits decisions on this award (base: real Labor Court cases).
