Contratos de trabalho no século XXI: Novas formulações e suas implicações jurídicas em tempos de Home Office

Abstract

In the labor sphere, the Home Office modality has become more frequent, generating discussions and the need for adjustments in face of the traditional existing contractual forms. Thus, this study aims to present the telework modality and its peculiarities and bring light to the discussion about the precariousness in this contractual form that requires legislative adjustments and guarantees, presenting cybertariat as a new form of labor precariousness and alienation of informal work in this environment. This is a bibliographical analysis that presents the history of work, telework, and contractual forms, which raises the discussion around the need for legislative adequacy and restructuring and around the power of the teleworker negotiation. Some discussions are essential in this case, such as the working hours, the working environment, the union need, and also the corresponding responsibilities in relation to the worker's physical equipment.
