Susana Afonso analyses the Government's draft bill amending the Labour Code in an interview with Jornal de Negócios.

In this interview, the Partner in Labour Law & Pension Funds at CMS Portugal reflects on the innovation of the document, analysing whether it is prepared for new forms of work and what measures should be discussed but are not.

When asked if the document is innovative, Susana Afonso states that ‘there is nothing particularly innovative about it’, anticipating the growth of self-employment and considering the regulation of new models of labour relations to be more important.
