Checking the FGTS balance is an essential step for every worker, as it ensures that deposits are being made correctly by the company and allows you to monitor the accumulated amount for future withdrawals.
The FGTS is a financial reserve created to protect workers in specific situations, such as unfair dismissal, purchasing a home and retirement.
With the FGTS, each new job adds an account to the worker's statement, divided between Active Account and Inactive Accounts.
THE Active Account is related to the current job and continues to receive monthly deposits made by the employer, with income over time.
To the Inactive Accounts, on the other hand, are from previous jobs and, although they do not receive new deposits, they continue to yield and update the balance periodically.
Monitoring these values is important for planning your financial life and ensuring compliance with labor rights.
