Snacks: Digestible Weekly Labour News – Issue 16130 May 2024

WEEKLY ITALIAN LABOUR UPDATES

"The relocation of the employee requires objective business needs with reference to both the existing and entering seat."

In this edition of Snacks, our bitesize weekly Italian employment law update, we look at the following recent cases and notices:
  • spontaneous and repeated payment of an economic benefit over time constitutes business use;
  • care giver status is a risk factor for discrimination;
  • allowances related to an employee’s job are included in holiday pay;
  • dismissal on the grounds of the employee’s marriage within one year of the publications is null and void;
  • unlawful dismissal for exceeding sick leave with (prior) request for garden-leave;
  • workplace harassment and dismissal for cause;
  • video-surveillance only legal if agreed by union or approved by labour inspectorate;
  • influencers promoting products on social media are commercial agents;
  • criticising employer on WhatsApp does not justify dismissal; and
  • unlawful access to an employee’s company email in an exploratory capacity.

If you would like to receive further details on any of the above points, please get in touch with our Italy employment team.
