RESPONSABILIDADE CIVIL

Abstract

It is a fact and well-known that in recent years the number of corporations declaring bankruptcy has increased dramatically, as they lack the resources to meet their incurred debts. Corporate insolvency often leads to mass layoffs, resulting in a lack of support for workers' rights, leaving employees in a situation of financial and social vulnerability. In this context, the importance of social responsibility in ensuring that labor rights are respected, even in times of economic instability, becomes evident. Furthermore, this discussion encompasses the legal mechanisms available to ensure that workers are adequately compensated and protected, such as priority in the payment of overdue salaries, severance pay, and potential alternatives for the company's recovery that can preserve jobs.
