The Regulations that govern employment relationships between civil and complementary construction contractors and their employees came into force recently, approved by Decree no. 69/2016 of 30 December.
These Regulations were approved as a result of the imposition enshrined in the Law of Employment (Law no. 23/2007 of 1 August), which establishes in article 3(1) that employment relationships under works contracts must be governed by special legislation.
