- The INSS payments follow the usual schedule by the last digit of the benefit number, with deposits for those above one minimum wage starting December 1.
- Piauí brought forward state workers’ second 13th‑salary parcel to December 12, totaling R$263 million, alongside scheduled November and December payrolls.
- Mato Grosso do Sul set December 10 for the second parcel to about 82,000 active and retired state employees after paying the first part in September.
- For private‑sector employees, the second installment is due by December 19 this year and comes with INSS and, when applicable, income‑tax deductions; late or missing payments can be reported to labor inspection channels or the MPT, with employers subject to fines starting at R$170.25 per worker and higher on repeat offenses.
