Abstract

The essay builds on the tripartite division of the functions of remedies (restitution, satisfaction, compensation) to elaborate on a number of cases in which mandatory labour law rules give rise to invalidities - of the contract of employment, of employer's unilateral acts, and of flexible labour contracts. The aim is to explore whether these kinds of invalidity are to be seen as satisfactory, being directed to accomplish worker's interests and to increment the consequences of the invalid contract.
