The term 'telework' and 'teletrabalho' became significantly more prominent in Brazil after 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In Brazilian labor law (CLT - Consolidação das Leis do Trabalho), 'teletrabalho' is the official legal term. While 'home office' is commonly used colloquially in Brazil, especially in São Paulo's corporate environment, 'teletrabalho' is the preferred term in formal and governmental contexts. In Portugal, 'teletrabalho' is also the official legal term but less commonly used in everyday speech compared to Brazil.
