💡 In the United States and Brazil, the traditional workweek is Monday through Friday with weekends off, typically consisting of 40 hours. However, Brazil has seen increased adoption of flexible work arrangements and home office (trabalho remoto) since 2020. The term 'semana de trabalho' is widely understood in professional contexts, while 'semana útil' emphasizes the business/productive days of the week. In Portugal, the standard workweek remains similar, though discussions about reducing working hours continue.
