Labor & Taxes
Can the employer reduce salaries?
Reducing a worker's salary is only legally permissible in exceptional circumstances under Portuguese labour law. It cannot be done unilaterally by the employer as a standard practice or without valid, specific justification as defined in the Labour Code.
Why it matters
If your employer suggests a pay cut, be aware that this is not a routine decision they can make; it is restricted to specific, exceptional legal situations, and you should verify the grounds for any such proposal.ExpressoRead original ↗
