Hahahahaha!

just found this about portuguese employment:

Portugal: The Strange Labor Law
If your company intends to start doing business in Portugal, here's one important thing to know: There's no termination period for the employer.

This doesn't mean that you can tell your employees to go home and the next day their employment contract will have disappeared. This means that you can't fire anybody. An employee can resign with a 1 month resignation period in the 2 first years of employment and 2 months afterwards.

The employer has the following choices:

* offer money and beg the employee to leave (also known as "mutual consent")
* fire the employee for gross misconduct (also known as "for cause" or "good luck proving that")
* fire the employee, pay up to 6 months salary AND risk to be forced to reinstate the employee (also known as "abusive dismissal" or "back to square one")

and on a lighter note,

* In Portugal, it's against the law to pee in the ocean.

though i can't quite believe that one. anyone know otherwise?
