La inseguridad jurídica del trabajador de carrera al ser nombrado representante legal de una Compañía.

Abstract

The present research focuses on studying the legal insecurity that a career worker appointed as the legal representative of a company suffers under Ecuadorian law. Although legal entities are usually represented by a natural person according to the law, this figure of representation has been the subject of discussion when a legal representative, prior to being appointed to this position, has been a worker with several years of experience in the same company. The legal problem arises when this person is removed from the position, and as there has been a shift from labor to civil regime, it leads to a deprivation of the exercise of all the labor benefits previously acquired in their employment relationship. This case exemplifies the regulatory void that exists, as well as ambiguous regulation, resulting in a violation of labor rights in the presented case.enjoy job stability. Nonetheless, in certain cases, the legal nature of this figure remains ambiguous, raising questions about whether it falls under civil or labor regulations.
