Jornada de trabalho remota no pós-pandemia: atuação da justiça do trabalho

Abstract

The workday began to be discussed from the 20th century onwards, after the Industrial Revolution, in which workers worked exhaustively during the day, directly impacting their quality of life. Thus, after several union demonstrations, it was established that the duration of work should be eight hours a day and forty-four hours a week. Consequently, there is a need to control hours worked and different working hours formats, such as night, part-time, remote, among others. Remote work is the provision of services outside the employer's premises, that is, it can be performed at home or at other establishments other than the company's headquarters. Despite having been previously regulated, this modality of working hours expanded with the COVID-19 pandemic, in which workers were unable to carry out their activities in person. Through descriptive research, this study presents the different types of working hours and their compliance standards, in addition to describing the adjustments that occurred in labor relations during the state of public calamity resulting from COVID-19. Finally, it discusses the performance of the Labor Court in the post-pandemic, in the face of telework and hybrid work, which have provoked different understandings and decisions.
