“The talent of our teams is the most valuable capital we have, it is our responsibility to protect it, develop it and create conditions for it to manifest itself in its fullness”, says José Fonseca, general director of Decathlon Portugal, reported by ECO.

The sports chain increased the basic minimum wage to 900 euros/gross, which rises to 1,040 euros with the meal subsidy. To this amount can be added “the monthly performance bonuses (0% to 20% of the base salary), bringing the minimum monthly amount to €1,220. To this value it will still be possible to add seniority payments and twelfths of holiday and Christmas subsidies“, lists the company.
