Employee Benefits in Portugal

As of 2026, in Portugal, laws governing statutory benefits and leave can be found in the Labor Code, 2009 (as amended), articles 40-47, 49, 51, 131, 234, 238, 249, and 268. (Other laws, legally binding precedents, and collective bargaining agreements in may apply.) At Safeguard Global, our EOR services for Portugal have HR support built in, so organizations can be sure their international employees receive the statutory holidays, paid leave, and other benefits they are entitled to. We also offer stand-alone global employment solutions in Portugal, such as HR & Benefits to support organizations with their own Portuguese entities.
