As doenças ocupacionais como consequência das horas suplementares

Abstract

The birth of Labor Law is characterized by demands around labor protection standards at a time in history marked by the existence of deep social and economic inequalities. The fixing of the working day is a fundamental question of the social order, so that the labor rights related to this matter must be rigorously subjected to a regime that is imperative, inalienable and inalienable by individuals. These are inalienable rights guaranteed by the Federal Constitution itself. The subject of occupational and occupational diseases is related to working hours and, besides being an extremely current topic, is at the same time timeless. With the transition to the post-industrial era, in the so-called post-Fordism, and the excessive flexibilization of the rules on working hours, work schedules became more and more extensive and at the same time oscillating during the day- weekly or annual. Given this broad theme, this study has as a general objective to describe and point out, based on legislation, the influence of overtime and excessive work hours in the development of occupational diseases. Regarding the methodology used, in relation to the objectives of his research, this study presents itself as a descriptive research using bibliographic techniques, such as reading books, scientific articles, laws, among others. The study concludes with the final arguments and the position that overtime work illustrates underemployment and vulnerability to poverty, affecting even the promotion of full employment. In addition to the presented balance, the work in question, besides demonstrating the existential damages caused to the worker exposed to the regime of overtime, points out guidelines for the achievement of goals for decent work and the social function of the company.
