We’ve spent 15+ years supporting global tech teams. Now we help you hire legally in Portugal.
Portugal is a strategic base for tech teams in the EU. Lisbon and Porto anchor a tech scene full of freelancers, remote teams, and deep technical talent. Multilingual full-stack teams scale from co-working hubs in Braga. This country was made remote, allowing people to stay calm and connected. Whether building from the mainland or from the islands, you will find balance here. Portugal offers excellent infrastructure and a modern regulatory system. Local startups receive access to European funding, while also benefiting from government support, especially in clean tech and digital innovation.
If you already have a company in Portugal and need help with employment, payroll, and social charges, we handle everything that makes your hires fully legal and compliant. GEOR registers your team with Segurança Social and Finanças, signs contracts, issues payslips, manages salaries and taxes from onboarding to offboarding. Our professional employer organization acts as your official co-employer, while you stay in charge of who to hire and how they work.
We’ll take care of it.
Employing in Portugal may seem simple, but there are hidden steps. Missing them can slow everything down.
You must report hires to Finanças, Segurança Social, and ACT separately, as there’s no single form or portal.
You will need to issue payslips, apply meal allowance rules, track holidays, and deduct taxes every month, manually.
What takes 1 day in Lisbon might take 2 weeks in Madeira. Not all local offices work at the same pace.
If a contractor follows your schedule and works like part of the team, they may be reclassified as an employee.
You cannot just let someone go. You may need to pay for unused vacation, meal allowance, bonuses, and severance.
Workplace accident coverage is mandatory for all employees, including part-time staff.
Our PEO service supports clients with everything they need to hire compliantly in Portugal. We combine legal care with real knowledge of the local market.
GEOR is more than legal access to HR in Portugal.
We’re a reliable partner who understands your technical tasks, your team’s rhythm, and the power of innovation.
