Under the Consolidação das Leis do Trabalho (CLT) regime in Brazil, monthly salary payments for workers must be completed by the fifth business day of the following month. Per Article 459 of the CLT, Saturdays are counted as business days, while Sundays and holidays are excluded. For the month of August 2026, the payment deadline was set for Saturday, September 5. For the month of September 2026, the deadline ~~was determined to be~~ is Tuesday, October 6. This calculation accounts for the exclusion of Sunday, October 4, which is an election day. The business day sequence for October 2026 is: October 1 (Thursday), October 2 (Friday), October 3 (Saturday), October 5 (Monday), and finally October 6 (Tuesday) as the fifth business day. While ~~these dates follow general regulations,~~ companies may choose to pay earlier, specific professional categories or collective bargaining agreements may establish different payment rules. If payments are delayed beyond the legal limit, workers may seek assistance from their unions, the Ministry of Labor and Employment, or the Labor Court.
