The time has come: with the Christmas season, comes the Christmas bonus for those who are entitled to this support. But when will you receive it in your bank account? Many receive the 14th month with the November salary, others do not have a fixed rule.
The only rule established by the Authority for Working Conditions (ACT) is that the Christmas bonus payment should occur by December 15th.
"The worker is entitled to a Christmas bonus of an amount equal to one month of remuneration, which must be paid by December 15 of each year," as stated in Notícias ao Minuto, citing ACT.
About the value of the Christmas subsidy, it is read that it is "proportional to the time of service provided" in the civil year, in the following situations:
- In the year of the worker's admission;
- In the year of termination of the employment contract;
- In case of suspension of the employment contract, unless due to a fact concerning the employer.
So, the specific amount will be "equal to one month of salary". "The law establishes a rule of proportionality for the calculation of the Christmas allowance, in the year of the worker's admission, in the year of the termination of the contract and in the years in which the contract has been suspended for reasons related to the worker", the news website also mentions."
