Pre-retirement: who can request it and how much to receive

SAPO Notícias14 September 2026 at 09:03

Pre-retirement is a possibility provided for in Portuguese law for workers aged 55 or over. This modality allows a gradual transition to retirement, through agreement between the worker and the employer.

According to the article, the worker can reduce their working hours or even stop working completely, while continuing to receive a salary. This flexibility allows for a progressive adaptation to retirement.

The article mentions that this possibility is subject to agreement between the two parties involved: the worker and the employer. It is not an automatic measure, but rather the result of negotiation between both.

Pre-retirement thus appears as an alternative for workers who wish to reduce their work activity before official retirement, allowing for a smoother transition to the cessation of work activity.

Why this matters

This information is relevant for Portuguese workers aged 55 or over who wish to anticipate the transition to retirement or reduce their workload, as well as for employers who can use this mechanism as a human resources management tool and team rejuvenation.
