Entrepreneurs Juan Fontana and Alexandre Fernandes Furini have a network of six restaurants and a meat market. There are 200 employees, who are part of 12 workgroups in the WhatsApp messaging application, where they exchange over 1,000 work messages a day. The application is used to communicate prices, promotions, purchases, organize accounting and even train employees.

For Labor Lawyer Alvaro Trevisoli, WhatsApp can and should be used at work. But it's not enough to make sense, you have to be careful because the messages serve as legal proofs. "There is a risk of embarrbadment and malicious games, intimidation or annoyance on the part of a leader by placing an employee in an embarrbading position.This may result in moral damages and materials and who pays the bill is the company, "he says.

To avoid risks, the lawyer suggests certain attitudes:

– Create a company code of ethics to use WhatsApp;

– Establish a contract of employment with each employee by establishing clear rules regarding the application;

– Prohibit video, audio and text messages containing jokes, memes and offenses;

– Prohibit communications outside working hours to avoid future work actions.

In addition to these legal tips, ask your leader who realized that the application can also be a trap. The businessman Alexander has a rule: an audio message that has pbaded 30 seconds, he says that he does not even listen. He says that today, he should attend about 100 groups in WhatsApp.
