Hiring in Portugal

Europe’s Westernmost nation is known to us for its wines, wonderful weather and world-class footballers, as well as being a popular tourist spot.

Portugal is a full EU member and part of the Schengen zone. Its economy is advanced and diversified and is highly dependent on interactions with its European neighbours. Services dominate Portugal’s economy and tourism is a key employer, with up to 20 million tourists and pilgrims visiting Portugal each year.

All workers in Portugal are covered by Portugal’s extensive workers’ rights and employment practices are regulated and highly developed. Portuguese wages remain lower than other western European nations, with an average monthly salary of around €900 per month. Although doing business is classed as easy, slow processes and complicated tax and labour regulations make a payroll partner a good investment for those looking to invest in Portuguese labour.
