The salary bonus is an important benefit for many Brazilian workers, and knowing whether you are entitled to it is essential. This benefit, also known as PIS/PASEP, is intended for low-income workers, offering additional financial support. To be entitled to the salary bonus, the user needs to meet certain criteria established by the government.
These include having worked under a formal employment 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). Thus, the salary bonus will be paid annually, and its amount can reach one minimum wage, depending on the number of months worked in the base year.
