It was a clarifying morning on the changes related to labour legislation and with immediate implications in the day-to-day life of companies. The questions raised, the examples and the clues presented, contributed for the session to be very practical and useful in clarifying the many existing doubts.

It should be noted that the amendments to the Labour Code and its respective regulations, which focused on various aspects of labour relations and working conditions, came into force at the beginning of this month.
