Objectives
Objectives
The aim is to provide students with knowledge of the various "types" of employer and their impact on employment, particularly in the context of groups of companies. Likewise, by addressing some vicissitudes of business activity and their effects on employment contracts, in particular the insolvency and recovery of pre-insolvent companies, the suspension or reduction of activity, the transfer of the employee, and the transfer of the company or establishment, students will be provided with specific knowledge that will enable them to assess, interpret and apply this knowledge in practice. Finally, the objective and subjective causes of termination of the employment contract will be analyzed, allowing for a theoretical and practical perspective to provide detailed knowledge of the specificities inherent in each of the modalities of termination of the employment contract.
