Alterações unilaterais dos contratos de trabalho realizadas pelo empregador

Abstract

The principle of contractual unalterability stands as the norm within employment contracts, functioning as a safeguard for the rights and dignity of the working class. This paper studies the exceptions to the principle of injurious contractual unalterability, wherein were identified possibilities of unilateral modification of employment contracts, sanctioned by the occurrence of the Jus Variandi institute. It was observed that this institute originated from the powers conferred upon the employer through the constant element of subordination in employment contracts. Furthermore, the definition of contractual alteration, its classifications, and the scenarios in which Jus Variandi operates in its ordinary and extraordinary spheres were expounded. As a means of preserving the principle in study, it was discerned that the application of Jus Variandi should adhere to limits established by Law. Keywords:
