Função social da empresa e crédito trabalhista dos empregados em caso de falência

Abstract

The present work aims to understand how labor credits are in case of bankruptcy in the face of the social function of the company. The methodology used at work was bibliographic research and started from the need to understand about the legal concepts related to Business Law and Labor Law, the bankruptcy process and the position of labor credits in the face of a possible financial difficulty on the part of the company. Thus, at first the definitions of company, entrepreneur, business society and establishment are exposed, because having these clear notions is important for the understanding of the subjects addressed; even at this moment, it is introduced on the principles of business activity. The next chapter briefly addresses the recovery of a company to act before the company is subject to bankruptcy, and addresses in a broad way the bankruptcy process, its effects, assumptions, and the order of execution of the credits. Finally, the last chapter presents who the creditors of the bankrupt estate are, what is the nature of labor credits and how labor credits are executed in the bankruptcy process. For the preparation of this study, scientific articles, articles published on legal websites and, mostly, books by reference authors in the business sphere, such as Fabio Ulhoa, Elizabete Vido, and André Ramos, were consulted
