The salary bonus is an important benefit for many Brazilian workers, and knowing if you are eligible for it is essential. This benefit, also known as PIS/PASEP, is intended for low-income workers, offering additional financial support. To be eligible for the salary bonus, the user must meet certain criteria established by the government.
These include having worked with a formal contract for at least 30 days in the base year and having received, on average, up to two minimum wages per month. In addition, the user must have been registered with PIS/PASEP for at least five years and have their data updated by the employer in the Annual Social Information Report (RAIS). In this way, the salary bonus will decrease annually and its value can reach one minimum wage, depending on the number of months worked in the base year.
