El derecho a la desconexión frente al teletrabajo emergente en tiempos de pandemia en Ecuador.

Abstract

In Ecuador, the telework modality allowed us to see the importance of establishing limits between the personal and work life of the worker, since the right to disconnection of the workers must be guaranteed, since, by not respecting this right, it could be the cause of diseases such as: stress, tiredness, or anxiety. The present research work proposes to modify the regulations that allow to protect and avoid the violation of the right to disconnection. This research contains the way in which teleworking has evolved over the years, its characteristics, modalities, definitions of different authors; In addition, the way in which teleworking was applied for the first time in our country is explained, when applying the Ministerial Agreement MDT-2016-0190. The term teleworking is a new figure that required a detailed analysis, since in some way the labor rights of its workers are not respected. This research also analyzes the beginnings of the right to disconnection, a comparison is also made between Ecuadorian legislation and international legislation.
