When you’re running a multijurisdictional organisation — or even when you’re just working or trading with organisations in different territories — you need to be aware of differences in local culture and law. To help you do this, Brightmine is launching the ultimate resource for navigating employment law in Portugal — the Portugal International Employment Law Guide.

From parental leave to flexible working, our international editors reveal some intriguing facts about Portuguese employment laws.

We are thrilled to announce the newest addition to our series of international employment law guides – the Portugal International Employment Law Guide. This comprehensive resource is designed to provide a clear understanding of Portugal’s employment laws, covering the entire lifecycle of an employee. Authored by a top legal firm, the guide focuses on employment law compliance and simplifies complex legal jargon. It offers concise summaries of relevant legislation and regulations that are updated on a monthly basis, ensuring readers stay up-to-date with accurate and current information.

We will be adding Portugal as a new country guide to join our suite of 40+ employment law guides for HR professionals with staff outside the UK. Register your interest.
