The Tribunal da Relação do Porto confirmed the lower court's decision regarding a claim for supplementary work. The worker argued that hours worked outside the agreed contract duration constituted supplementary work, while the employer contended otherwise. The court ruled that such work is supplementary by definition and placed the burden of proving the employer's order on the worker.
