Abstract

The so-called evidence of signs, contained in article 493 of the Labor Code, is a rule established with the purpose of facilitating the probative effort of the complaining party. However, there is controversy as how this rule should operate. There are those who point out that we would be faced with an alteration in the burden of proof, dynamic evidentiary burdens or, even, a differentiated standard of proof. In the present study, we will explain the reasons for discarding such ideas and placing the circumstantial evidence as a presumption.
