What is the Single Report
The Single Report is an annual legal obligation for all employers in Portugal with employees. It compiles detailed information about the company’s social activity and working conditions.
The report includes data such as:
- Number of employees
- Employment structure and professional categories
- Salaries and working schedules
- Professional training
- Occupational health and safety
The collected information allows authorities to monitor labour market trends and support the development of public, social and economic policies.
New submission deadline
Exceptionally, the submission period for the 2025 Single Report will be:
📅 From 4 May to 31 May 2026
This means the process will start later than usual, as it typically begins in March.
The postponement is related to technical adjustments in statistical classifications and administrative systems.
Who must submit it
All employers that had employees during 2025 must submit the Single Report, regardless of company size.
The report must be submitted electronically through the official platform.
Failure to comply with the deadline may result in administrative penalties.
How companies should prepare
Despite the extended deadline, companies should start preparing the required information as soon as possible.
Recommended steps include:
- Reviewing HR data for 2025
- Confirming training hours provided to employees
- Updating occupational health and safety records
- Validating professional categories
- Ensuring all required annexes are completed
Conclusion
The postponement of the 2025 Single Report deadline provides additional time for companies to prepare their submissions. However, proper planning and accurate data management remain essential to ensure compliance with labour regulations and avoid penalties.
