<![CDATA[This article analyzes the enforcement of criminal sanctions under Article 185 of the Job Creation Law against corporations for unilateral layoffs, as well as the interaction between civil and criminal law. The article aims to examine the effectiveness of enforcement, inhibiting factors, its impact on workers' rights, and formulate a reconstruction model for corporate criminal liability. The method used is normative legal research with a statutory, conceptual, and case-based approach. The findings indicate that the enforcement of Article 185 has not been effective due to limited technical regulations for corporate investigations, difficulties in proving mens rea, weak coordination between labor inspectors and law enforcement, limited capacity of the apparatus, and the absence of an integrative criminal-civil mechanism. As a result, workers do not automatically obtain restoration of their rights and must undergo a lengthy civil process. This article offers a model of integrated corporate criminal liability through the integration of restitution in criminal decisions, a double-track system, deferred prosecution agreements, and strengthening legal institutions and culture. This model places the restoration of workers' rights as part of corporate criminal liability.]]>
