portaria de extensão

An "extension order" — a ministerial order that extends a collective agreement to employers and workers in the sector who do not belong to the organisations that signed it. It is published in the Diário da República; the pay clauses often apply retroactively.

Where you come across it. Sector-wide pay rises; your payslip.
The extension may not cover members of trade unions that objected to it — any such exception is written into the order itself.
