Los derechos laborales en el Ecuador, problemática jurídica y soluciones a la contratación eventual.

Abstract

The system of eventual hiring in Ecuador presents a legal issue that affects the labor rights of workers. The abuse in the use of temporary contracts leads to job precariousness, generating job instability and undermining the safety of workers. The chaining of eventual contracts has become a concerning practice that avoids indefinite contracts and leaves employees unprotected. To address this situation, various solutions are proposed. It is recommended to carry out a legislative and regulatory reform to establish clear limits on the duration of temporary contracts and prevent abusive chaining. Additionally, there is a call to promote indefinite hiring through fiscal incentives and advisory programs for companies. Strengthening oversight and applying effective sanctions to noncompliant companies are fundamental to ensure compliance with labor regulations. One of the most relevant conclusions is that the current Labor Code requires better implementation mechanisms to safeguard workers' rights in accordance with the current Constitution.
