Overview

• October 2025’s fifth business day falls on Monday, October 6, making it the last day to deposit salaries for September.
• Saturdays count as business days under the CLT, while Sundays and holidays are excluded from the calculation.
• Working on the first Sunday of the month does not move the due date earlier because Sunday is not a business day.
• Late pay can be claimed in court with monetary correction, with repeated or prolonged delays potentially justifying indirect termination.
• The TST applies a 10% fine once delay passes 20 days plus 5% per additional day, and the Labor Ministry can levy R$176.03 per affected worker.
