Subject
The available facts indicate two existing companies connected by a dependency and supervision relationship. The employee was registered with the social security institution under the second company, while actually working continuously for the first company, which is owned by the second.
Summary
When dependency and supervision between the two companies are established, both may be held jointly and severally liable for employment rights and obligations. Relevant indicators include identical purposes, common workplace, same owners, and identical authorized signatories, which together show the employee effectively worked for a single employer. This is an educational summary and not a judicial text or legal advice.
Practical significance
Practically, finding such dependency allows pursuing both companies in employment claims. It underscores the need to examine corporate links—ownership, management, authorized signatories, workplace, and social security registration—when determining the responsible employer.
