Who is entitled to PIS is a topic that always comes up when the payment period begins.
This is because it is known that some workers receive an annual amount corresponding to PIS.
But what is this amount? Who is entitled to it? How can it be withdrawn? Is it possible to check it?
If any of these questions are on your mind, know that the answer to it is right below.
That said, to understand everything about PIS, just follow us as we read today's material!
To begin with: what is PIS?
Before we talk about who is entitled to PIS, it is important to explain the general subject.
This is because there are many doubts about what PIS is.
PIS (Social Integration Program) is a Federal Government program that collects funds from private companies.
These funds are intended to guarantee the payment of labor rights to employees.
Among the rights financed by PIS, we can highlight the FGTS, Salary bonus and unemployment insurance.
It is important to note that PIS is only aimed at private sector workers who have formal employment contracts.
This is because, in the case of public employees, they are covered by PASEP, while self-employed workers have the NIT as their registration.
And, speaking of which, when registered with PIS, the citizen receives an identification number with the same name.
Therefore, when we talk about someone's PIS, we are actually referring to this citizen's registration number.
This number serves to identify the citizen in labor matters, as well as in social security matters and even in social benefits.
This way, all information is concentrated in a single register, which makes control easier.
Understanding what PIS is will help us answer questions about who is entitled to PIS.
Salary bonus x PIS
Throughout the previous topic we saw a basic explanation about PIS.
And, as we can see, this is a program that aims to guarantee the payment of rights to workers.
However, we often hear people say that they "receive PIS", but is that possible?
We would like to clarify in advance that when people say they receive PIS, they are actually referring to the salary bonus.
The Salary Bonus is a right granted to workers who receive up to 2 minimum wages and who have been registered with PIS for at least 5 years.
Therefore, if the worker meets the criteria, he/she will be entitled to receive an amount ranging from R$ 110.00 to R$ 1,320.00.
The reason for the variation in value is because the Salary Bonus is calculated based on the period worked in the base year.
This means that the worker will receive the amount corresponding to the months worked in the base year, so that the highest amount is for those who worked for 12 months.
It is important to note that the Salary Bonus is paid in a single annual installment, based on the payment schedule.
Furthermore, it is worth emphasizing that it is necessary to meet all the criteria to receive it, and later we will see what they are in detail, which will determine who is entitled to PIS.
Anyway, now that you know that the Salary Bonus is a right paid by PIS.
Who is entitled to PIS?
By now you already know that what is popularly called PIS is actually the payment of the Salary Bonus.
And, as we can see, this is a right paid annually based on the period worked by the worker.
But, after all, who is entitled to PIS? Can all workers receive it?
We begin by saying that no, not all workers receive the Bonus.
This is because, Only private sector employees are entitled to the Bonus.
Furthermore, to receive this amount, the person must have a salary of no more than 2 minimum wages.
Therefore, if your salary is higher than this, you are no longer eligible to receive PIS.
Another important criterion is time, as the worker must have been registered with PIS for at least 5 years.
And finally, you must have worked at some point in the base year, which is the year considered for PIS payment.
It is important to say that payment only occurs upon compliance with all rules.
Therefore, there is no point in receiving up to 2 salaries and having worked in the base year, if you have not been registered with PIS for 5 years.
The same applies to those who have been registered for 5 years, but did not work in the year of calculation.
So, to find out if you are entitled to the Bonus, the first step is to check if you meet all the rules.
How can I check my right to a salary bonus and find out who is entitled to PIS?
After what we saw in the previous topic, you certainly already know who is entitled to PIS.
However, there is a quicker and more direct way to check whether you are entitled to the Salary Bonus.
This basically consists of accessing the Digital CTPS through the application.
There you must log in with your Gov.br account, and then go to the "Menu" tab.
In the Menu tab, click on "Benefits", and then click on "Salary bonus".
This will be enough to make the inquiry and find out if you meet the rules for receiving the benefit.
The best part is that everything is clearly specified, so you can know which criteria prevent you from receiving the bonus, if this has occurred.
But, if you prefer, you can also check your right to PIS directly with Caixa Econômica Federal.
If you are eligible, just wait for the payment schedule to be released.
The Salary Bonus is paid through the Caixa Tem app, or directly into a Caixa checking or savings account, if the worker is a current account holder.
After receiving the amount in your account, you can transfer your allowance to use as you wish.
But, if you prefer, you can also make payments and transfers via pix by Caixa Social Savings, from Caixa Tem.
In any case, now you know who is entitled to PIS, how it can be consulted and how the amount is withdrawn.
So, get ready for the payment period to see if you will be one of those who will receive the Salary Bonus!
