What is Post-accident job security (estabilidade acidentária)?

Post-accident job security guarantees 12 months of employment after returning from accident-related sick leave (art. 118 of Law 8.213/1991). Súmula 378 of the TST requires, as a rule, leave of more than 15 days with receipt of the accident benefit — or the recognition of an occupational illness equated to an accident, even without leave.

Dismissed within the period, the employee is entitled to reinstatement or indemnity.
