Remote’s Benefits Practices

Remote supports our clients by offering competitive benefits packages that will help you attract and retain the best talent across the globe! Our benefits specialists have done the research on norms and requirements in each local market and have crafted packages that will allow your employees to thrive, no matter what country they live in.

Our core benefits (which often include things like healthcare) are required in most countries where we hire. We do not require customers to offer health benefits in Portugal due to its strong public system and local laws that protect us (and you!) against claims of discriminatory hiring practices. However, we do recommend that employers in Portugal offer benefits to their employees, which allows them to access a wider range of options for providers and specialists as well as significantly shorter wait times. We do not add a markup on any benefits premiums or administration costs.

If you would like more insight into fair equity and benefits best practices, you can download our Global Benefits Guide here!

Understanding Hiring in Portugal
  1. In Portugal, 90%* of employers offer supplemental health insurance to their workforce. Although the country has a public health system, supplemental health insurance provides employees with access to a wider range of options for providers and specialists, as well as significantly shorter wait times. Our plans also offer global coverage (excluding the US) to protect your employees when they are traveling outside their home country. (*based on 3rd-party market research from our partners)
  2. Meal Cards: Meal cards are a common and expected benefit in Portugal. They are used to cover the cost of employee meals during work days. They also offer tax benefits to employers and employees. Meal cards are tax-free up to €9.60 EUR per working day.
  3. You will be able to select benefits options when onboarding your employee. From there, the employee will be enrolled and contacted with more information about their plan. Remote takes care of all the administration work so you can focus on scaling your global team!

TCE in Portugal

If you’re ready to hire a new employee in Portugal, you may have generated or received a Total Cost of Employment quote to get an estimate of what it might cost. If you haven’t, you can do so with our handy Cost Calculator tool now!

Employers hiring in Portugal must pay for social contributions mandated by the government. These costs are automatically applied during payroll:

  1. Social Security
  2. Labour Accident Insurance
  3. Wage Guarantee Fund (WGF) 

The exact cost of the government contributions listed above can be found by using the Cost Calculator.
