What is Employer succession (sucessão trabalhista)?

Employer succession is the transfer of business ownership without affecting the employment contracts (arts. 10 and 448 of the CLT). Any change in the employer’s legal structure does not impair acquired rights: the successor assumes the obligations, including those formed before the transfer.

It is decisive in mergers, acquisitions and the transfer of an establishment — the labor liability follows the business.
