The hypersufficient employee and the mitigation of contractual dirigisme

Brazil is going through a transition from the Provider State model to a model closer to the Regulatory State, influenced by globalization and changes in the relationship between the public and private sectors. The Labor Reform reflects this change by recognizing plurality in the world of work and expanding the scope of Labor Law to include professionals from different areas. The emergence of the Knowledge Society highlights the search for greater autonomy and flexibility at work, especially among the most qualified professionals. In this context, Contractual Direism in Labor Law is being mitigated for a portion of workers, such as those considered Hypersufficient, who seek greater autonomy in negotiations related to their work. This article explores these changes and their implications for Labor Law.
