Employees in Portugal are entitled to paid annual leave (férias). Here's how it works at Remote People.
In the platform, this leave type is called Vacation.
When booking time off, select Vacation — that is your annual leave (férias) entitlement.
Your entitlement
Full-time employees receive 22 working days of Vacation per year. This is paid by your employer.
How Vacation accrues
Vacation accrues monthly, credited on the last day of each month. Your available balance builds through the year rather than being granted in full up front.
The leave year
The leave year runs 1 January to 31 December.
Carrying over unused Vacation
You may carry up to 22 unused days into the next leave year.
Carried-over days must be used within 4 months — by 30 April — after which they expire.
This mirrors the Portuguese rule that leave carried into the following year is taken by the end of April.
Requesting Vacation
Vacation can be requested in half days.
No supporting document is required.
Requests can be submitted retrospectively if needed.
