The Brazilian labor legislation is a complex structure that regulates relations between companies and employees, and is certainly one of the strictest in the world. It is based on the Consolidation of Labor Laws (CLT) of 1943, but has been undergoing modifications, adjustments, and additions, such as the Personal Data Protection General Law (LGPD) implemented in 2020.
However, these developments do not affect the principle that underpins the CLT – the protectionist principle. Its purpose is to establish legal equality between employee and employer, resulting in the favoring of the choice that benefits the hypo sufficient party in this relationship, i.e., the employee. In addition, the strong presence of labor unions adds even more complexity to this admittedly conflictive dynamic.
As such, companies are faced with the daily challenge of simultaneously ensuring compliance with labor legislation and efficient people management. This involves a series of tasks such as planning work schedules, managing vacations and time off, and controlling overtime. Managing all this manually can become a time-consuming and error-prone process, but it doesn't have to be that way.
