Thus, it affected the dynamics of labor relations in high unemployment rates and in the face of a legal framework whose design was not thought for teleworking. Through bibliographic research framed in the qualitative methodology, it was determined that the mechanisms of exploitation and expropriation of the surplus-value are elaborated on the variables: income and social benefits of the worker, working hours, stability, and work environment. Finding that the Humanitarian Law and the Ministerial Agreement MDT-2016-0190 allow the increase of precariousness promoting labor flexibility in the three variables and negatively affecting the salaried class's well-being.
