Abstract

This text presents empirical evidence to ‘test’ some hypotheses about the impacts of Labour Justice on labour productivity. Hypotheses that, even if involuntarily, this Justice would encourage ‘opportunistic’ and ‘immediatist’ behaviors of employers and workers. Moreover, these behaviors would result in noncompliance with labour contracts (informality), early termination of these contracts (turnover), as well as losses for labour productivity. The empirical evidence presented here shows that these hypotheses, which concern to ‘opportunistic’ and ‘immediatist’ behaviors, seem to be confirmed mainly by the behavior of employers. After all, from temporal and monetary perspectives, they seem to have something to gain, either with the postponement of credit payments or with the mitigation (or ‘discount’) of these payments. In turn, by the workers’ side, they seem to have a lot to lose with both phenomena.
