Lawsuits
Lawsuit is every action filed against the company by one or more plaintiffs. Plaintiff is the person who files a labor lawsuit against the company.
The plaintiff can be an employee, non-employee (person pleading the employment relationship), former employee, a group or union, in cases of collective actions. At every action filed by a plaintiff, a new process will be registered. In this case, if there's employment relationship and Personnel Management environment is used, the employee (plaintiff) function will be automatically displayed.
For this integration, Relationship between People and Employees is indispensable, including inactive employees (option Relate in People Register). |
This routine performs the storage and management of main information about processes, so the system can follow up their progress.
A lawsuit can be related to a client/supplier of the company or associated to the defendant.
The process begins when the company receives the summons or notification of previous settlement council. Summons is delivered by mail, not always as registered mail, and this is the base document used to indicate the register of the new process.
The concept of phase through which the lawsuits go through is used to make management easier. The phases work as a lawsuit progress status. Files like Hearing, Occurrence, Judgment or Appeal update the general phase of the process always from the latest date (Phase Date field), and the change of phase can be checked on the Resources.
Information from other registers of the system is related to this routine, which is the main entity of SIGAAPT environment. It allows integration with o Personnel and Financial Management, in order to use data from Employee File and generate titles related to the lawsuits, in Financial, when they have to be paid.
