Annual leave in the year you're hired
Did you join mid-year, or are you about to hire someone? Pick the hire month, see the leave entitlement under the Código do Trabalho (Labour Code) and try booking a block on the calendar, as if you were already in Selfcare.
Legal minimum in Portugal (Código do Trabalho, art. 238) = 22.
Rule in art. 239 of the Código do Trabalho: in the year of hire, the entitlement is 2 working days of leave for each full month of the contract, up to a maximum of 20 days. Leave can only be taken after 6 full months of the contract (or by 30 June of the following year, if the calendar doesn't allow it).
Working days are what count: weekends and national public holidays don't use up the balance. Municipal holidays and company rules are part of Selfcare's real calculation.
In Selfcare, this is your team's day-to-day
Each employee books leave by dragging on the timeline, the team leader approves, and the balances (including the hire-year pro-rata and what carries over to the next year) count themselves.
