Acidentes em teletrabalho no domicílio

Abstract

In the present dissertation, we analyze the issue of work-related accidents occurring under the regime of subordinate telework, a reality increasingly present in the Portuguese labor context, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic. The research begins with a historical and legal framework, demonstrating its normative evolution up to the current regulation by the Labor Code, including the amendments introduced by Law no.83/2021. Next, the legal concept of work-related accidents is explored, based on Law no-98/2009, highlighting aspects such as time, place and casual link. The dissertation delves into the legal challenges that arise when accidents occur at the worker’s home under telework, particularly regarding the distinction between work-related and domestic accidents, and the applicability of the in itinere accidents within the home-based telework regime.
