subsídio de Natal (Christmas bonus, the "13th salary")
Another annual payment equal to a month's salary, due by 15 December. In the year you join and the year you leave, it is calculated pro rata to the time worked.
Where you come across it. Your December payslip, final pay when leaving a job, talk of "14 salaries".
This too can be paid in monthly instalments. Not paying it is a very serious offence for an employer.
