Abstract

Abstract The article examines recent trends in the way doctors enter the labor market in the light of the regulation of labor relations in the perception of key informants who work in the public and private sectors of the health system in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. The study showed that, in the perception of the interviewees, there is a growing trend of insertion of doctors as a legal entity conditioned by the regulation of labor relations and the contracting policy of establishments providing health care services. In general, the ‘pejotização’ (hiring free of labor rights/illegal hiring) of doctors was associated with the loss of autonomy of these professionals in relation to the terms of employment and the conditions for performing the work. The article concludes that the illegal hiring and insertion of doctors is presented as part of the more general movement of cheapening the workforce associated with outsourcing, and indicates that there is room for the exploitation of policies aimed at the management of workers who seek to attract and fix doctors in the Unified Health System.
