Missing work to care for a family member: how many days can you take without losing justification?

Portuguese law provides for justified absences for workers who need to provide care to sick or injured family members. These absences are regulated by the Labour Code and allow employees to miss work to care for children, spouses, parents or other dependents, upon presentation of medical documentation. The number of permitted days varies depending on the degree of kinship and the severity of the situation, ranging from a few days to longer periods in cases of serious illness. Workers must inform their employer as far in advance as possible and present the necessary documentation to justify the absence.
