Offshore companies in Macaé and other producing regions have been facing severe challenges to keep their employees during the pandemic. Many could not withstand the pressure and were forced to lay off workers en masse to protect themselves financially. But workers in this sector are facing great difficulties: receiving their labor rights.

Suddenly and deliberately, dozens of employees from Elfe Engenharia – Base Macaé contacted the CPG page complaining that they had not received the Food Voucher or the payment for March 2020 (up to the date of this article). There are also issues regarding the termination of work that was due yesterday (06).

One of the main concerns of these employees is that the salary to be received in April (for the month of March) is also bundled during the termination process. It is worth noting that most of the professionals in the area are located in Macaé, a city under quarantine decree.

How Terminations and Adjustments of Labor Rights Will Be Made

“How to eat and pay the bills without money during this quarantine,” question followers of the page. We will refrain from giving opinions and will only pass on the information we have gathered. Below, you will find the payment and termination schedule of the outsourced Elfe:

  • The termination will be paid in up to 12 installments
  • Installments of at least 500 reais
  • The approval will be scheduled starting April 16
  • At the time of approval, the exact number of installments will be communicated according to the amount of the termination
  • During the approval, a key and all documentation to receive the Guarantee Fund (FGTS) will be provided, consequently gaining access to Unemployment Insurance
