Jobs in Portugal

Portugal completed one of Europe's most successful 4-day week pilots in 2023-2024, with 39 companies adopting the 100:80:100 model. Most participating employers continued the arrangement afterward, reporting higher satisfaction and maintained productivity. On pay transparency, Portugal lags behind. No Directive transposition legislation has been published, and existing Law 60/2018 — while requiring transparent salary policies — does not mandate salary ranges in job postings. Only about 15% of postings include pay information. Lisbon has emerged as a competitive tech hub with lower living costs than other Western European capitals. The statutory minimum of 22 annual leave days and growing adoption of flexible work policies make it an increasingly attractive market for professionals seeking fair-work employers.
