The Tribunal da Relação de Lisboa upheld the rule that the weekly rest day in shift work occurs on the eighth day following seven consecutive working days. The court analyzed the legislative framework established by various decrees and laws governing labor contracts to determine the specific definition of a work week. Consequently, the decision confirmed that the standard eight-day cycle prevails over alternative interpretations of consecutive work periods.
