Afastamento do trabalho: o caso do magistério público municipal em Cachoeira do Sul

Abstract

The dismissal of work teachers, due to illness, has been one of the major problems faced by managers of the Municipal Public Education of Cachoeira do Sul. The constant illness of a considerable number of teachers is a reality, which influences the quality of education in the municipality and raises the costs of it. The present work aims to identify and analyze the different types, reasons and periods of teachers' absence from school due to illness. This research was characterized as bibliographical and exploratory, carrying out data collection and interviews. It is observed that osteomolecular and connective tissue diseases (sciatica, spine, arthrosis, back pain ...) are the ones that affect most teachers and that the months approaching the end of the school year (October and November) are those of greater departures from them, and the teachers of the Initial Years are the most affected by these diseases. Work overload and stress are the major causes pointed out by teachers, in order to move away from work.
