The DET becomes compulsory from March 2024

The business landscape is constantly evolving, and the digital transformation has also reached the Ministry of Labor and Employment (MTE), bringing with it the Workplace Electronic Domicile (DET). This new system, regulated by Decrees 10.854/2021 e 11.905/2024and by MTE Ordinances 3.869/2023 and MTP 671/2021, promises to revolutionize communication between the Labour Inspectorate and employers.

What is DET?

The DET is an innovation developed by the MTE's Undersecretariat for Labor Inspection (SIT), with the aim of complying with article 628-A of the CLT, establishing electronic communication as an efficient and transparent form of interaction between the parties. It is an online tool that is compulsory for individuals and companies to use subject to MTE inspection actionsregardless of the presence of employees.

The Manual drawn up by SIT emphasizes that the DET's mission is to provide greater publicity and efficiency to the relationship between the Public Administration and the administered. The digitization of services aims to increase the security and transparency of information, while reducing process times and operating costs.

With the implementation of the DET, employers need to establish procedures for monitoring and accessing the electronic mailbox. Taking action in a timely and appropriate manner is crucial, as all official communications from the MTE, including inspection notices and infraction notices, will be carried out electronically. You can access it via the website: www.det.sit.trabalho.gov.br
