TRABALHO DOMÉSTICO: EVOLUÇÃO HISTÓRICA E OS IMPACTOS DA PANDEMIA DO COVID-19

Abstract

This work is based on the assumption that Law N. 150/2015 has given a new look to the category, removing that link of approximation within the family nucleus that previously existed, now taking effect as a commercial relationship. However, the question is: Given the normative growth of this category, what are the impacts caused to domestic employees and employers in view of the new legislation in force in the labor market in times of the covid-19 pandemic? Therefore, the objective is to analyze the impacts caused by the coranavirus pandemic on domestic workers and the effects of the legislation amid the shaken relationship between employee and employer, as well as the historical evolution of this category. A bibliographical research with a qualitative approach was used and points out as a result: The Law brought with it a new normative command, such as the equalization of rights for domestic workers with other employees with formal jobs, also imposing duties both for a party and for the other considering positively such advances. And with regard to the current crisis, the pandemic has contributed to the situation of this category, estimated at more than six million workers, feeling torn between the recommendation to stay home and protect themselves, and the need to go out to pay bills.
