A viewer of the SIC Verifica program contacted the program to report a situation they experienced after getting married. The person indicates that the company where they work justified the removal of vacation bonus by pointing to the fact that they took marriage leave. As a result, they ended up losing extra vacation days they believe they are entitled to. SIC Verifica decided to analyze this issue to understand whether the company acted correctly. The article does not present the program's response or conclusion, as it is merely a presentation of a doubt sent by a viewer.

Marriage leave: do justified absences affect vacation bonus? SIC Verifica

Why this matters
Workers in the region who are planning to get married need to know their rights regarding vacation bonus, so they don't lose rest days they are legally entitled to. This issue directly affects thousands of workers who use marriage leave and may be improperly deprived of a labor benefit. Clarifying this doubt contributes to better information about workers' rights in Portugal.
