Während sich die Bundesregierung bemüht, Hilfspakete auf den Weg zu bringen und Kurzarbeit zu fördern, sind die Folgen für viele Branchen vernichtend. Manche Unternehmen werden auf lange Sicht eine Insolvenz nicht abwenden können. Eine bevorstehende Insolvenz zeichnet sich oft dadurch ab, dass der Arbeitgeber nicht mehr in der Lage ist, seine Arbeitnehmer zu bezahlen.
