Labor Code

In Portugal, the tourism sector is regulated by the Labor Code, approved by Law No. 7/2009 of February 12, which establishes the general rules applicable to all employment relationships. In addition to the Labor Code, there are specific collective regulatory instruments for the tourism sector, such as Collective Labor Agreements (CCT) negotiated between employers' associations and unions representing workers. These agreements define specific working conditions, including wages, working hours, and others. It is important to highlight that, while the Labor Code provides the general legal framework, collective labor agreements adapt the regulations to the specific needs of the tourism sector, ensuring that working conditions meet the particularities of this field.
