The conclusion of contracts telecommuting is one of the aspects to be configured in the new proposal for the General Labor Law, which was discussed in detail by the deputies of the National Assembly.
According to the deputy Elizandra Coelho, who was present at the work sessions, said that this type of contract will be extended to all professional classes, where the worker in telework regime enjoys, with the necessary adaptations, the rights and duties that ordinary workers he has.
Therefore, the worker will be able to carry out his activity from home or from another office.

The parliamentarian also stressed that under contractual freedom, the worker can decide to work in this modality in agreement with the employer. Elizandra Coelho points out that the two have to work out the method, although the law establishes that the official can be called for occasional meetings.
For example, he mentioned that, in the case of maternity leave, the worker continues to be entitled to three months, plus one without pay, and the possibility of being able to stay another three months in telework was extended.
"This reality was brought about by Covid-19. There was a need to legally welcome because it was noted that it is possible to provide the work, perhaps with better quality", said.
For you, the proposed law is deserving of a thorough appreciation of the parliamentarians who are introducing changes in content and form in some norms.
