The Fundo de Garantia por Tempo de Serviço or FGTS is a benefit guaranteed by the government to all workers with a formal contract.

In short, it seeks to ensure that employees are fired without just cause. Incidentally, companies are obliged to contribute to the FGTS.

Therefore, many people want to know if there is a possibility of withdrawal. Did you know that it is possible to do this by CPF? See in today's article how to consult FGTS by CPF!

First, let's make a brief summary of how the FGTS works. In this sense, the Severance Indemnity Fund is a benefit that is an obligation of companies. That is, contractors must deposit the amount of 8% of the employee's salary at Caixa Econômica Federal on a monthly basis.

Thus, in the event of dismissal without just cause, the employee is entitled to withdraw the severance pay. In addition, there may also be a termination fine between 20% and 40%. 

In addition, the FGTS offers the birthday withdrawal, for example. This withdrawal is an option given to workers to redeem the money even without being fired. However, in that case they are helpless if they are fired without just cause.
