• Abstract:

  Extraordinary Appeal (RE) 688267 was highlighted as an important milestone in protecting the rights of public employees in state-owned companies, requiring motivation for unmotivated dismissals. However, the effective implementation of compliance programs to deal with such dismissals faces challenges, including resistance to change, complexity of labor legislation and ensuring impartiality. It is suggested that mixed-capital companies make a solid commitment to public integrity and labor rights by adopting policies and practices that promote compliance with legislation and ethical standards. The limitations of this research include the limited approach to the practical challenges of implementing compliance programs and the lack of specific case studies. As suggestions for future work, we recommend further investigation of the challenges faced by public organizations in implementing compliance programs and the study of practical cases to better understand effective practices.
