LABOR REFORM AND INTERMITTENT WORKING: MAIN IMPACTS ON THE RIGHTS OF THESE WORKERS

Abstract

The Labor Reform, resulting from the entry into force of Law 13,467 of July 13, 2017, brought, among many other news and changes made in the Consolidation of Labor Laws, the possibility of hiring workers in the form of intermittent, ie, the possibility of hiring the employee in writing, in a subordinate and non-exclusive manner, to perform activities in alternate periods. Intermittent work emerges, in principle, to fill the legislative gap that justifies hiring extraordinary labor at certain times of the year, to modernize the employment relationship, as well as to combat informality and unemployment. Thus, this scientific article aims to analyze this type of employment contract, highlighting the objectives of its inclusion in the text of the Consolidation of Labor Laws, some criticism and existing gaps, and highlighting some important social security aspects. Therefore, a qualitative research of the subject to be examined, using the technique of bibliographic and documentary research, with analysis of doctrinal records and scientific articles will be performed, presenting the concepts on the theme, the existing regulation, highlighting the gaps of the legislation and its impacts on society.
