Challenges of the Intermittent Employment Contract in Brazil: Statistical Analysis and Legislative Gaps
Keywords:
Intermittent Work, Labor Reform, Comparative Law, PrecariousnessAbstract
The article examines the implementation of the intermittent employment contract in Brazil eight years after the Labor Reform. Through a statistical analysis of CAGED data and a comparative study with the legislations of Italy, Portugal, Spain, and the UK, the author points out the legislative gaps in Law No. 13,467/2017. Issues such as minimum income guarantee, the unpredictability of calls, and the need for regulation to avoid extreme precariousness are discussed, despite the STF's declaration of constitutionality.
