El impacto de las tecnologías de la información y comunicación en la jornada de trabajo en el Ecuador

Abstract

The following investigation analyzes the importance of rest after the day of work throughout the history of the labor system and production. Today this right is intimately linked to the technological era, with the incorporation of the Information and Communication technologies and digital instruments and tools the same ones that do not allow a disconnection of the worker with his employment. Within this analysis we will verify the existence or not of a violation of several rights such as the right for privacy, and family life, leisure, among others, in addition to international legislation that has regulated the issue of disconnection of labor because it is a human right. Finally, through research methods such as surveys and interviews, we will find out if a reform to our work code is necessary on the inviolability of time and work rest space outside the ordinary working day.
