Trabalho intermitente: análise da regulamentação e prática do trabalho introduzido pela reforma trabalhista

Abstract

This thesis addresses the labor reform of 2017 in Brazil, with a focus on the legalization of intermittent work and its impacts on the labor market, workers, and employers. The methodology adopted involved a systematic literature review, with data collection from recognized academic databases. The general objectives included the analysis of the regulation and practice of intermittent work and the understanding of its effects on the financial stability of workers and the competitiveness of companies. The specific objectives revolved around investigating the effects of intermittent work on the financial stability of workers, evaluating the competitiveness of companies that adopt this model, examining the practices of companies using intermittent work, and discussing the implications for various stakeholders. The literature review revealed trends, patterns, and conclusions in the literature, highlighting the lack of financial stability for intermittent workers and the challenges for companies in retaining talent. Furthermore, the legalization of intermittent work raises questions about informality in the labor market and economic and social inequality. As a result, it is suggested to formalize intermittent contracts with tax incentives, promote financial education for intermittent workers, and implement contractual clauses that ensure minimum stability. Additionally, the creation of a specific insurance or stability fund for intermittent workers may be a solution. In conclusion, this thesis contributes to a deeper understanding of intermittent work in the Brazilian context and suggests pathways to improve the financial stability of workers and the competitiveness of companies.
