The CRL is a tripartite body, whose members are represented by the Social Partners represented in the Standing Committee for Social Concertation (CPCS). Thus, the structure of the CRL includes:
 
  • Four representatives from the Ministry responsible for labour issues;
  • One representative of each of the employers' associations represented in the Standing Committee for Social Concertation (CPCS), namely the Confederation of Portuguese Farmers (CAP), the Confederation of Portuguese Trade and Services (CCP), the Portuguese Business    Confederation (CIP) and the Portuguese Tourism Confederation (CTP);
  • Two representatives of each of the trade union associations represented in the CPCS, namely the General Confederation of Portuguese Workers (CGTP-IN) and the General Union of Workers (UGT).
 
The composition of the CRL was set forth by an Order of the Minister of Labour, Solidarity and Social Security, published in the second series of the Official Journal D.R.E. (Order No. 13181/2022).
 
The Centre is to be chaired by one of its members, subject to annual rotation; the other members of the CRL designate the Chairperson.
