Expand into Portugal, a key country on the Iberian Peninsula, compliantly and quickly with our bespoke PEO services
Located in the South-West of Europe on the Iberian Peninsula, Portugal provides convenient trade access to various different continents thanks to its several ports. For businesses wanting to expand internationally, this is an attractive benefit for many reasons. Not only this, but in recent years Portugal has emerged as another major European location for thriving tech startups, contributing to its strong and resilient economy. Add this to Portugal's booming tourism scene and prestigious education institutions, and there’s no doubt that Portugal is full of incredibly talented workers.
Though Portugal can offer these opportunities to employers, it must be done so in a way which keeps your company compliant with complex rules and regulations such as tax, employment contracts, visas and so on. Additionally, setting up a legal entity in Portugal can also produce a number of problems if not handled correctly. This is where our Portugal PEO services come to aid you in your business growth, allowing you to grow into new Portuguese markets without having to establish a legal entity.
Secondly, the employment laws set out in the Código do Trabalho, or Labour Code, can be tricky to navigate if you are unfamiliar with Portuguese business protocols. Some Portuguese employment laws include, but are not limited to, the following:
- A maximum normal working period is usually 40 hours per week.
- A minimum rest period of 11 consecutive hours in every 24 hours, typically named the ‘rest period’.
- A minimum of 22 days of annual leave each year as part of employee benefits.
- Additional compensation for overtime work.
If dealt with by yourself, the combination of dealing with employment laws, visa requirements and the process of setting up a legal entity renders the expansion into Portugal a time-consuming process for businesses.
