Brasilia - The use of the new model of the Terms of Termination of Employment Agreement shall be binding on all employers to dismiss employees without cause from today (1st). The document should have become mandatory on November 1, 2012, but the term has been postponed due to poor adherence of companies to the term, according to the Ministry of Labour and Employment. Thus, employers have had over six months to adapt to the new term, which was approved in July 2012. According to the Minister of Labour, Brizola Neto, there is no possibility to extend the deadline.
Without the term of withdrawal, no worker can withdraw the Guarantee Fund for Length of Service (FGTS) or unemployment insurance agencies in the CEF. This failure also applies to domestic workers who have FGTS.
