Bus/Financial - Accounting / Paystub | | Portuguese term or phrase: 1/3 adic const fer | | I am translating a receipt of salary payment. This is an abbreviation having to do with holidays, I think. Many thanks for your help. |
| | | 1/3 additional constitutional holidays | Explanation:
The Brazilian constitution determines that employees should be paid one third more for not working than they get paid for working (it reflects the dominant philosophy in Brasília).
This is known as the "adicional constitucional férias", as it is in the constitution.

To express it in EN, you could use something like "Constitutional holiday bonus"... |

54 mins confidence: 1/3 constitutional vacation add-on
Explanation:
Cara Isa,
O "Fer" a que se refere o texto NÃO significa "Feriado" (holiday), mas "Férias" (vacation).
É esse o adicional de 1/3 a que se refere a Constituição brasileira de 1988. De fato, seu artigo 7o, inciso XVII:
"Art. 7º São direitos dos trabalhadores urbanos e rurais, além de outros que visem à melhoria de sua condição social:
...
XVII - gozo de FÉRIAS anuais remuneradas com, pelo menos, UM TERÇO A MAIS DO QUE O SALÁRIO NORMAL." (destaque meu).
