Briefings

A new law in Portugal allows parents with children under 12 or those with disabilities to work continuously without reducing their salary, potentially enabling them to leave up to an hour earlier. While the law permits one parent to work continuously, legal experts suggest it should also be possible for both parents to do so simultaneously, as the text does not explicitly forbid it. The law also does not specify how the reduced daily work period is treated regarding salary, though the Code of Labour prohibits salary reductions outside of statutory cases. Key dates include the law's approval in October 2026, with the article published on October 23, 2026.

Key points

• Parents with children under 12 or those with disabilities can work continuously without salary reduction, potentially leaving up to an hour earlier.
• Legal experts suggest the law should allow both parents to work continuously simultaneously, as the text does not explicitly forbid it.

Context

This article discusses a new Portuguese law approved in October 2026 allowing parents to work continuously without reducing their salary. The law applies to parents with children under 12 or those with disabilities, allowing them to work continuously without salary reduction. The article highlights the ambiguity regarding whether both parents can work simultaneously and the unclear treatment of the reduced daily work period regarding salary.

Limitations

The evidence is limited to legal interpretations and expert opinions from October 2026. The law does not explicitly address the simultaneous use of the regime by both parents, and the treatment of the reduced daily work period regarding salary is unclear. The article does not provide specific dates for implementation or details on how the reduced daily work period is treated regarding salary.
