What to do, step by step

Check your FGTS statement in the FGTS app and confirm that the monthly deposits (8% of salary) are up to date.
Compare it with your payslips (holerites) and the period worked at Colégio Marista; note the months without deposits.
If deposits are missing, request regularization in writing and contact your union or the MTE (Ministry of Labor and Employment, Disque 158), which also receives complaints.
In dismissal without cause, FGTS withdrawal and unemployment insurance may be available; the insurance application is made 7 to 120 days after dismissal, through the Carteira de Trabalho Digital app or on gov.br.
A claim for unpaid FGTS must be filed within 2 years after the contract ends and, as a rule, covers the last 5 years (art. 7, XXIX, of the Constitution).
