Portuguese term or phrase: cota - more context
Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of context. Cota appears as an entry under each employee's name, along with address, ID #, position, and term. It is followed by the amount 1,00 or 496513,00. Could it possible be the number of shares that each has?

Explanation:
If you do not have more context, go "share". It is probabely the number of shares the person is allowed to buy or something. In other words, the share in something

Might be "quota" but that is a bit more dangerous and I usually prefer not to use the word.

share


Explanation:
Tudo indica ser share

Se bem que deveria aparecer a palavra
"cota de ações" para confirmar.

cota é parcela, participação, de qualquer maneira voce pode usar share pois o sentido (mean) e aplicação da palavra é o mesmo.

Os colegas estão corretos

quota


Explanation:
poderia ser "shares" é claro, mas se fosse "shares", porque não usaram a palavra portuguesa "ações"?
COTA, no caso, deve ser mais do que "shares, pode-se tratar de uma cooperativa de empregados que tem não somente benefícios "shares" do lucro, mas também responsabilidades compartilhadas (payments, losses). Assim que "quotas" cobre todo os sentidos (shares, bonus, dividends, liabilities etc.)
