remunerated activity/position/occupation
Explanation:
It is one of the titles under which an employee can be paid amounts in addition to his basic salary (as are the previous four items). I'm not certain, but suspect it occurs most often in the case of public or equivalent employment.

The law below makes clear that "função gratificada" is one of the options for additional pay which an appointed public employee of trust can choose as a perk on top of his salary, or he can opt for the basic pay for the position with an additional 55%.

"Lei 8911/94, Art. 2º É facultado ao servidor investido em cargo em comissão ou função de direção, chefia e assessoramento, previstos nesta Lei, optar pela remuneração correspondente ao vencimento de seu cargo efetivo, acrescido de cinqüenta e cinco por cento do vencimento fixado para o cargo em comissão, ou das funções de direção, chefia e assessoramento e da gratificação de atividade pelo desempenho de função, e mais a representação mensal."

Overtime bonus


Explanation:
This is quite possibly for a policeman who would receive this bonus for working on his time off at football matches or standing by a hole in the road so no-one falls in.

neutral  Martin Riordan: I think "HORAS EXTRAS" is the overtime bonus...
5 mins
  -> And right you are, however overtime can be demanded by the police force or offered. In this case it is offered. The officers are not forced to do this work by their superiors as I understand it and generally it is simply being present somewhere.
neutral  Daniel Tavares: I think your answer is quite restrictive. There may be other situations, were an employee can deserve an extra-payment, such as trust positions.

  -> The only situation I have ever seen this term used is for police officers which is why I limited it

Função Gratificada
Commissioned Position/Trust Position


Explanation:
A título de contribuição para a resposta:
Pelo que li no site do Yahoo, função gratificada é "commissioned position" ou "trust position". Vejam a explicação abaixo:
"É a forma pela qual vc se investe num cargo público, exercendo um cargo de confiança. Esse cargo não gera estabilidade, podendo ser o funcionário demitido a qualquer momento.
Ex: o prefeito pode contratar, livremente, um assessor jurídico em função gratificada. Ele não precisará de ter feito concurso público. Basta ser da confiança de quem o contratar.
Good luck, Mike!!

  -> Thanks Ivan!!
disagree  coolbrowne: De fato, "gratificada/o" nada tem a ver com "trust/commisioned" (função de confiança). A "explicação" citada está errada. (É o problema de confiar na internet)

Explanation:
Gratificação - Retribuição ao funcionário pela prestação de serviços extraordinários, ou exercício de certos encargos que excedem as atribuições comuns do seu cargo ou carreira. Dicionário Técnico Jurídico - D. T. Guimarães.

Gratificação - No sentido do Direito Administrativo entende-se sempre a paga adicional ao funcionário e que lhe é devida pelo efectivo exercício de um cargo, face de certas circumstancias em que o mesmo se exerce. Vocabulário Jurídico - De Plácido e Silva.

"As funções gratificadas são retribuições atribuídas ao exercício de função de direção, chefia, assessoramento, secretariado, entre outros, instituído com vencimento fixo, a depender da FG ou CD, e acrescido no vencimento do servidor. As funções gratificadas são de livre nomeação e exoneração por meio de ato oficial pela autoridade competente. São relacionadas à execução de atividades específicas, por tempo determinado e não cumulativas."
