To protect workers dismissed without just cause, the FGTS (Service Time Guarantee Fund) was created with the aim of protecting them, through a linked account. Thus, every beginning of the month, the employer deposits 8% of the employee's salary, with the FGTS being the total of these deposits. So, how do you know if you have an FGTS balance?

In this sense, the FGTS will be made up of the total monthly deposits made by employers and the amounts belong to employees who, in specific situations, will be able to redeem this amount deposited in their names.

In this article, you will learn how to check your FGTS balance, as well as find out if you are entitled to the benefit. So, check out the text!

To check your FGTS balance, you can do so at one of the Caixa Econômica Federal branches directly at the service desk, on the Caixa website or through the FGTS app.
