The Data Protection Officer (DPO) has entered the Brazilian Classification of Occupations, CBO.
Among the professions included by the Ministry of Labor and Social Security are skateboarders, DPOs, e-commerce analysts, and more than 2,000 recognized occupations, which have the integration of income tax returns in the Annual Social Information Report (RAIS), and in National Employment Systems.
However, such recognition will not necessarily generate new labor rights, such as vacation, 13th salary, working hours, or registration of the labor contract. In fact, the recognition is that the DPO is an occupation with its own characteristics.
Therefore, the Ministry of Labor and Social Security itself seeks to analyze the CBO as a classification that has the purpose of identifying occupations in the labor market, for exclusive classification, being of an administrative nature, and not necessarily linked to labor relations.
Finally, it is important to mention the way in which this recognition is made after contacting those working in the area, coupled with several studies on the function of the category, to ascertain if they meet all the necessary requirements, such as knowledge and specific skills to act, as well as involvement in the function with interest and social responsibility.
