Os reflexos da pandemia do Covid-19 no mundo do trabalho: uma análise comparativa da responsabilidade civil do empregador no Brasil e na Espanha

Abstract

The pandemic caused by the virus COVID – 19 brought health and economic difficulties in every country in the world. The restrictive measures for opening and closing establishments, the crisis in the health system led government officials to implement extraordinary economic, fiscal and labor laws. In this scenario, the exposure of workers unable to work in a home office system placed them at risk of illness by the virus. Thus, the existence of a healthy and safe work environment becomes more important. Thus, this research will investigate the employer's responsibility for not providing security to the worker in Brazil and Spain and whether these responsibilities have been effective. In order to reach the proposed objective, the legaltheoretical methodology was used, as well as deductive reasoning and doctrinal research. It was concluded that the Spanish accountability system is more rigid, generating better results regarding the number of illnesses among workers.
