The Portuguese Assembly of the Republic has on its agenda a series of legislative initiatives aimed at changing several labor rules, which, if approved, will also constitute an amendment to the Labor Code.

• Temporary Work
• False self-employment and unjustified recourse to non-permanent work
• Collective Contracts
• Presumptions of employment contract
• Reinforcement of the powers of ACT (Portuguese Authority for Labor Conditions).
