Summary: In addition to its role of preventing and correcting labor irregularities committed by
employers, the Labor Prosecutor's Office (MPT) can also play an important social role
in society. This is due to the possibility of reversing resources resulting from public civil
actions or conduct adjustment terms, which allows the direct allocation of resources to
local entities and projects, benefiting the community where the labor damages
occurred, instead of being directed to the federal government. The reversal of
resources by the MPT is a practice that can, as a means of investment, generate
positive impacts in communities affected by labor irregularities. This research
examines how the Labor Prosecutor's Office can enhance the positive externalities
generated by reversing resources obtained from labor irregularities. Conceptually,
concepts related to economic and social development, law and externalities were
used, focusing on a public service. Regarding the methods, this is qualitative research,
of a descriptive and exploratory nature through a case study. Data were collected
through interviews, non-participant observation and documents and analyzed using
narrative analysis and document analysis techniques. Results indicated that the local
resource reversion has been consolidated as a relevant practice in the MPT/ES, by
directing resources to projects in the areas of health, education, social inclusion,
among others. In addition to identifying the common challenges in the resource
reversion process, the main criteria adopted in the allocation of resources were also
identified. Based on the characteristics identified, a set of proposals are presented
aiming at improving the process and overcoming the identified challenges, aiming at
enhancing this practice in order to maximize positive externalities. The main technical
product generated from this research was a didactic and instructional material
(Training Course) aimed at optimizing the direction of resource reversion to locations
affected by labor damages, through awareness and process improvement. The
proposed Course can be applied to the MPT throughout the national territory,
strengthening and enhancing the relevant role of this public agency in generating
positive externalities through resource reversion.
