Common Types of Portuguese Employment Contracts

The most common type, offering stability and security with no predefined end date. Ideal for long-term employment relationships, these contracts provide strong job security under Portuguese labor law.

Used for temporary needs, these contracts are set for a specific duration which can be between six months and three years, extendable up to three times, ensuring flexibility for project-based or seasonal work.

Often facilitated by a temporary staffing agency, these contracts are suitable for fulfilling immediate and short-term labor demands, with the agency handling most administrative duties.

These are brief agreements, up to 60 days, mainly used for occasional tasks like seasonal agricultural or tourism-related jobs. They offer quick, flexible staffing solutions without lengthy commitments.

There are specific provisions for student-workers, allowing them to balance work with educational commitments, and for individuals with disabilities or chronic diseases, ensuring their rights and appropriate working conditions are maintained.
