FGTS Digital: Promising a revolution in workers’ rights; Understands:

Labor rights in Brazil have always been supported by the cornerstone known to all as the FGTS (Time in Service Guarantee Fund). By providing financial protection to workers, this fund faced many administrative challenges. Among these, bureaucracy has always been an urgent figure. This scenario required change, which came through FGTS Digital, a promising and innovative system that will revolutionize FGTS management.

FGTS Digital is emerging as a platform to streamline operations, eliminate additional costs, and ensure worker data security. One of the new features is its connection to Pix, an instant payment mechanism, which promises speed and reliability in FGTS-related transactions. Moreover, the system promises to facilitate the issuance of payment evidence, access to data and verification of outstanding debts.

Pix and FGTS Digital: How does this integration promise to revolutionize transactions?

Integrating Pix within FGTS Digital is a very important strategic choice. With Pix, FGTS payment is faster and more secure for workers, facilitating the assignment process in the worker’s account. In addition, the system adapts to new legislative demands, such as Law No. 13932 issued on December 11, 2019. For these reasons, Pix’s strategic choice within FGTS Digital indicates modernizing the way we deal with our taxes, and adapting to the digital world in which we live.

What are the benefits of FGTS Digital for employers and workers?

Direct benefits to employers include the elimination of bureaucracy, reduced operating costs, speed in issuing pay evidence, ease of data consultation, customization of pay data and debt control. For workers, FGTS collection becomes more reliable, and transactions are safer and faster with Pix integration.

What are the legal implications of FGTS Digital?

FGTS Digital is also adapting to recent legislative changes, such as Law No. 13932, which brought new obligations and conditions for FGTS-related operations. In this sense, it is important for employers to be up to date with changes in legislation and the FGTS digital platform. From January 2024, fines could reach R$300 per worker, which represents a significant increase compared to current penalties. The guiding principle is for employers to be careful to avoid incurring unnecessary fines.

Considering the above, it is undeniable that the arrival of FGTS Digital represents a new stage in the management of the end-of-service compensation fund, bringing multiple benefits to employers and workers. This new system is expected to be an important step towards a more flexible, secure and transparent management of the FGTS.
