Benefits of Digital FGTS:
This platform, without a doubt, will also help in a positive way in the dynamics of the whole process. According to the undersecretary of Labor Inspection, Rômulo Machado, “studies indicate a reduction of about 36 hours a month in the time spent just collecting the FGTS”. And, still in agreement with him, this time “will result in productivity gain”.
Finally, Rômulo says that “today we have a charge that can be improved and bring it within a statute of limitations. We are going to leave the 5-year period, to bring this collection with default to a faster period. This is an important tool for maintaining the sustainability of the fund, which will provide the worker, greater transparency for the inspection of employment contracts and for the collection of FGTS to the bottom”.
