A pro-rata payment 13th month payment must also be paid to terminated employees. While negotiating with potential employees, it is imperative that employers clearly state whether the cited salary is inclusive or exclusive of the 13th-month payment.

Brazilian employment employment law permits the termination of the contract of employment by either the employer or employee. Any outstanding salary must be paid out upon the last day of employment. This includes cases where employees have been terminated due to misconduct. In situations where extenuating circumstances present a challenge to providing payment upon termination, employers must settle outstanding payroll within three business days.
When an employee resigns without notice, however, employers have seven days to provide final outstanding payments.
Employees are required to give their employers 30 days’ notice to terminate their employment.
If an employer terminates an employee, there is a variable statutory notice period pending the length of service:
The maximum probationary period allowed in Brazil is 90 days (two terms of 45 days). The second term of 45 days can only be implemented upon the completion of the initial 45 day period as an extension of the initial probation period.
