Direito a desconexão do trabalhador da jornada de trabalho

Abstract

The present article aims to investigate the impact of the evolution of communication through social media on the workday, focusing on the resulting issues and their legal implications; and to analyze the judgments of the Regional Labor Court (TRT). With the evolution of technology, some devices, such as cell phones, have been excessively used, forcing workers to be connected around the clock, having to respond to their employers' orders almost constantly, receiving messages instantly, every day at any time, even outside the established working hours in their employment contract and in the Consolidation of Labor Laws. In this article, secondary data from research available in institutes and other publications, as well as academic papers discussing the theme of technology in the workday as a study object, were used.
