Remote work and law: mapping normative production in a pandemic

Abstract

The article aims to contribute to the mapping of disputes around the regulation of remote work in contemporary Brazil, in a context in which the social distance caused by the Covid-19 pandemic gave rise to the adoption of this type of work to gain greater importance. We seek to understand what labor claims emerged as a result of the adoption of remote work, the changes promoted within the scope of Labor Law due to social distancing measures during the pandemic and, in particular, how new arrangements were implemented in collective bargaining regarding work remote in the states of Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. What normativity results from the heteronomous and autonomous rules adopted in the exceptional pandemic period? The research findings and the problematization of the rules arising from provisional measures and collective bargaining on remote work highlight the limits and trends of the regulation that emerges in the context of a health calamity.
