A sociedade do desempenho e seus reflexos: Burnout como doença ocupacional e seus reflexos trabalhistas e previdenciários

Abstract

This paper analyzes Burnout Syndrome as an occupational disorder and its labor and social security impacts. The research addresses the historical evolution of the syndrome, its inclusion in the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11) by the World Health Organization (WHO), and the recognition of Burnout as an occupational disease within Brazilian legal frameworks. The thesis also investigates the labor rights of workers diagnosed with Burnout, including leave for incapacity, employer responsibility, and the granting of social security benefits, such as accident-related sickness benefits. Jurisprudence analysis reveals a trend towards greater legal recognition of Burnout, despite challenges in proving causal nexus. The research concludes that mental health protection at work should be prioritized, requiring preventive actions and effective public policies to ensure healthy work environments.
