Court-appointed forensic accountants audit payroll registers under Art. 52 LCT; failure to produce books triggers statutory presumptions favoring the employee (Art. 55 LCT).
2. Statutory Demand and Legal Recovery Proceedings
When these rights are breached, workers should issue a statutory demand telegram (Law 23,789) under penalty of constructive dismissal and initiate proceedings with CNAT court interest rates.
