Abstract

This article aimed to analyze the changes in labor legislation resulting from the pandemic for formal workers in the private sector, focusing on home office work. To this end, a qualitative bibliographical research was carried out in scientific articles, books, theses, monographs and government pages on the subject. As a result, it was seen that there were several changes to labor legislation under the justification of protecting the economy during the period of health crisis. It is concluded that many of the changes made are directly contrary to the laws and, mainly, the Federal Constitution. This is a matter of collision between these fundamental rights versus the maintenance of full employment and the autonomy of companies that were immersed in crises, making, exceptionally, an exclusionary consideration.
