Legislator summary

AI generated

The Supreme Court of Justice ruled that an employer must reclassify a worker into a newly institutionalized professional category when a collective agreement defines it. The employer had assigned the worker to a role that later gained official status, but the court found the new category's content substantially matched the worker's historical duties. Consequently, the court ordered the employer to formally reclassify the employee to align with the collective regulation.

SUMÁRIO

A entidade patronal que atribuir ao trabalhador certa categoria profissional ainda não institucionalizada deve reclassifica-lo nessa mesma categoria quando esta venha afigurar em instrumento de regulamentação colectiva do trabalho com um conteudo correspondente, no essencial, as funções que o mesmo trabalhador sempre exerceu desde aquela atribuição.
