Wages guarantee fund
Autonomous administrative body run by the Ministry of Employment and Social Security whose aim is to guarantee, to the workers in the name of another party, that they will receive wages pending payment by the company, and any corresponding compensations or other contributions in accordance with current legislation. There are two reasons for this action: bankruptcy of the company, or suspension of payments, closures and others, and redundancy.
