When a CLT employee is dismissed without just cause (demissão sem justa causa) in Brazil, they are entitled to multiple components: proportional prior notice (aviso prévio), proportional 13th salary, unused vacation plus 1/3 bonus, and the 40% FGTS penalty. The employer must also pay out any remaining wages for the current month.

Frequently asked questions
What are the components of CLT severance in Brazil?
Mandatory components for dismissal without just cause: (1) proportional notice pay (aviso prévio), (2) proportional 13th salary, (3) unused accrued vacation + 1/3 bonus, (4) current month salary and overtime owed, (5) FGTS balance withdrawal, (6) 40% FGTS penalty. An additional 10% fine goes to FAT (worker support fund).
What is the notice period for dismissal in Brazil?
Under the 2011 reform (Lei 12.506/2011), the notice period is 30 days + 3 additional days per year worked, capped at 90 days. The employer can either require the employee to work the notice period or pay it in lieu (aviso prévio indenizado).
Does severance apply when an employee resigns in Brazil?
If the employee resigns voluntarily (pedido de demissão), they are not entitled to the 40% FGTS penalty, but are still entitled to: proportional 13th salary, accrued vacation + 1/3, and may need to serve (or forfeit) the notice period.
