"The fixed-term temporary employment contract is not
subject to the duration limit of paragraph 2 of article 148 and, as long as the
justifying reason remains, it can be renewed up to four times", state the
updated law.
A PS proposal was also approved which provides that, after
four years of temporary assignments by temporary work companies or another of
the same group, these companies are obliged to integrate workers into the
staff.
"The duration of successive temporary employment
contracts for different users, concluded with the same employer or company that
is in a controlling or group relationship with the latter, or maintains common
organizational structures, cannot exceed four years", states the proposal.
Members of the working group also unanimously approved a PCP
proposal on the article of the Labour Code that clarifies working conditions
for temporary workers.
"The worker is entitled to holidays, holiday and
Christmas allowances, as well as other regular and periodic benefits, in cash
or in kind, to which the user's workers are entitled for equal work or work of
equal value", establishes the initiative of the PCP.
These holiday and Christmas allowances are the biggest scams in the Portuguese labour market.
Just negotiate a salary based on 12 months; any bonuses should be based on individual and company performance.
