In Brazil, fixed-term contracts are regulated by the CLT and are commonly used for seasonal work, projects, and temporary positions. They became increasingly prevalent during economic downturns as companies sought flexibility. In Portugal, similar contracts (contratos a termo certo) are regulated by the Labor Code and have been subject to EU directives on temporary work. Both countries have legal frameworks specifying maximum renewal periods and protections for workers on such contracts.
