Remote working after reform labor and its relevance in front of new ways of work

Abstract

The present article aims to deal with the modality of distance work known as remote working, which was recently implemented by the Labor Reform, generating some considerations that deserve to be discussed. In this investigation, it is intended to deal with remote working and some of its most important aspects, such as its legal framework and the reflexes of remote working through the Labor Reform in the face of the different legal situations involving remote workers, especially the decisions and labor jurisprudence regarding the remote working after law No. 13.467/2017. To that end, bibliographic research was carried out on the origin and concept of remote working, pointing out the positive and negative aspects of distance work, as well as an analysis of the importance of this modality in view of the new work relationships and the current scenario of the country in question through the COVID-19 pandemic.
