The FGTS Certificate is a very useful document that guarantees the regularity of benefit payments by the company.
Therefore, knowing how to remove it is extremely important, and every worker should have access to this information.
The good news is that this is a very simple procedure, and in today's material we will explain everything about the certificate.
So, if you want to know what this document is, how to issue it, and what the rules are, don't waste time and keep reading!
What is the FGTS Certificate?
When we talk about FGTS, many people even think that this benefit is a myth.
And this situation is due to the fact that many companies do not deposit the amounts due.
As a result, the employee only realizes that there was no deposit when he leaves the company and has no funds to withdraw.
This is an irregular and absolutely illegal situation, which gives the worker a right to sue if he pursues the matter in court.
But did you know that it doesn't have to come to that, as it's possible to avoid this situation in advance?
This is possible thanks to the FGTS Certificate, which is often called the FGTS Regularity Certificate (CRF), or Negative Debt Certificate (CND).
The purpose of this document is to prove that the company is making deposits correctly into the employee's FGTS account.
It is worth mentioning that for the company to function correctly, it must have an up-to-date CND.
This is because, as we well know, not depositing the FGTS correctly can cause serious problems for the company.
These losses include not being able to provide services to the State and fines.
But, if the losses for the company are significant, for the worker they are much greater.
This is because, FGTS is a right and must be deposited frequently, precisely to guarantee payment.
It is worth mentioning that the FGTS Certificate can be issued free of charge by Caixa Econômica Federal, if the company complies with the rules that we will see shortly.
How to get the FGTS Certificate?
At this point, you already know what the FGTS Certificate is, and you understand that this is a fundamental document for the company's operation.
This is because, if the company cannot prove that it has no outstanding FGTS debts, it may face significant restrictions.
Therefore, we just need to see about the issuance of the document.
The good news is that this is very simple, and can be done for free through the Caixa Econômica Federal website.
The first thing you should do is access the Caixa website and go to the “Employer Regularity Consultation” section.
There you must include the type of registration (CPF or CNPJ), the CPF or CNPJ number and the issuing state.
After filling it out, simply click on “Consult” to access the CND information.
After checking the information, you can click on the “get the FGTS Regularity Certificate” icon.
With that, just download the document, print it, and just like that your certificate will be issued.
It is important to note that this certificate is valid for 30 days, and it is possible to request a new one 21 days after requesting the previous one.
Additionally, if you don't want to or can't access it via the website, you can request the certificate at a Caixa branch.
This way, you can ensure that your company is up to date with its FGTS deposits, and you can prove it!
Unable to obtain FGTS Certificate: reasons and what to do
After everything we've presented, you certainly already know everything about the CND's functions and how to issue the document.
However, we failed to highlight a very important detail, which is that some points prevent the issuance.
This is because the FGTS Certificate is a document that guarantees that there are no pending payments of the benefit to employees.
Therefore, if the company has any type of pending issue, it is not possible to issue.
Therefore, the company cannot obtain proof and faces some losses.
And, it is worth saying that this is not a rare case, and is actually quite common.
So, let's now explain why this situation happens, and what can be done.
In case of non-payment
The main reason why it is impossible to issue the FGTS Certificate is the lack of payment.
This is because there are rules for the deposit, which determine the date and frequency of the deposit.
Therefore, if the company does not comply with these items, it may be in an irregular situation.
In this case, it is not possible to issue the CND, as there is a pending payment.
If the company is yours, the only way to resolve the issue is by paying the outstanding installments.
If you are the employee, you will need to contact the company and inform them of the lack of a deposit.
Additionally, you must request payment, and if this does not resolve the issue, it is important to contact the Ministry of Labor.
This way, you ensure that your FGTS is in order and that you can receive it when it is released for withdrawal!
If there is data inconsistency
The second most common situation that prevents the issuance of the FGTS Certificate is due to data inconsistency.
In this case, the problem can occur from two different sources.
The first is when the company does not provide the correct information about the employee, and due to inconsistency, the amount is refunded.
The second is when the worker's FGTS account itself has some inconsistency, which prevents the deposit.
A very common problem is duplicate accounts, meaning that no matter how much the company deposits, the amount does not go to the correct account.
In any case, the situation can be regularized by going to a Caixa Econômica Federal branch.
There, an employee will be able to assess and identify the problem, and propose a solution.
This way, the account or data will be regular, which will allow the benefit to be deposited without any obstacles.
It is worth mentioning that it is the responsibility of the worker and the company to identify this type of problem.
Especially from the company, since when there is an inconsistency, the value returns, therefore, the company has a way of knowing.
Therefore, it is important to keep an eye on things to regularize the situation as soon as possible!
So, now that you know what the FGTS Certificate is and all the rules about it, issue yours right now!
