In recent days, the Chambers of Deputies and Senators approved, respectively, the initiative to reform the Federal Labor Law in connection with teleworking, adding for this purpose Chapter XII Bis, which includes articles 330-A to 330-K. The main points of the reform are the following:
I. Telework definition
Home-based work and telework are differentiated, the latter being defined as a form of organization of subordinate work that consists on the performance of remunerated activities, in different places other than the employer’s facilities, without requiring the physical presence of the employee in the workplace, primarily by using information and communication technologies.
