Da imprevisibilidade do empregado: o contrato de trabalho intermitente à luz da reforma trabalhista

Abstract

Law No. 13,467 / 2017, widely known as Labor Reform, has brought with it several innovations that influenced labor relations, among which, the regulation of a new type of employment contract stands out, the intermittent employment contract. This modality has as its main characteristic the unpredictability, due to the fact that the schedules for the provision of services are only defined when the employee is called. Such institute was regulated with the justification that workers stopped rendering services informally, causing the unemployment rate to decrease significantly. In light of this analysis, the present scientific article, through bibliographic research, aims to elicit the impact generated by intermittent work in Labor Law, as well as the positive and, most of all, the negative points found with regard to the positions of employee and employer. By the developing of the study on this subject, it was possible to conclude the importance of the regulation of the intermittent employment contract, since the institute of intermittent work has been common in society for a long time, and it will always exist, which becomes an important factor for exploring it, in order to identify the consequences and the harm in the midst of the labor relations resulting from the intermittent employment contract.
