Decree-Law 109-B/2021, of 7 December, was published, approving the update of the minimum national monthly salary guaranteed for 2022.
As of 1 January 2022, the guaranteed minimum national monthly salary will increase from the current 665 € to € 705.
Employers, as well as individuals with one or more employees, are entitled to a one-off compensation of between € 56,00 and € 120,00 (depending on the salary of each employee).
The access to the compensation depends on the employer complying with the following conditions:

(ii) Having their tax and social security contributions situation regularized.
The compensation can be cumulative with other support measures, including those granted under the COVID-19 pandemic, and will be granted by IAPMEI or by Instituto do Turismo de Portugal through registration on the websites of these entities until 1 March 2022, under penalty of forfeiture of the right to the compensation.
