How it works
Since the 2017 labor reform, employer and employee can end the contract by agreement. The worker receives half of the notice in lieu and a 20% FGTS penalty, can withdraw 80% of the FGTS balance, and receives salary balance, 13th salary and vacation in full. There is no unemployment insurance.
Example
Hired 10/01/2020, agreement on 30/09/2026, salary R$ 4,000. Six years give 48 days of notice; half is 24 days. Net severance: R$ 14,320.57.

The agreement must be genuinely voluntary. An employer cannot force a worker into it instead of a dismissal without cause.
Frequently asked questions
Does a 484-A agreement need union approval?
No. Since 2017 union homologation is not required. The signed termination form is enough.
