Carolina Hecker explains changes to the flexible working hours regime in the proposed labour reform

News

The Draft Bill for the Reform of Labour Legislation has brought several measures into debate, including the clarification of the flexible working hours regime — an issue that, until now, had generated uncertainty in its practical application.

In an article for RH Magazine, Carolina Hecker, Principal Associate in the Labour practice at CCA Law Firm, analyses this change and highlights that the proposal “is relevant and necessary, insofar as it seeks to address interpretative gaps that have long required legislative clarification and, at the same time, to acknowledge the need for this regime to be compatible with the company’s operating period and the nature of the employee’s duties”.

According to the lawyer, this clarification may represent an important step forward in the effectiveness of the regime, benefiting both employers and workers.
