WEEKLY ITALIAN LABOUR UPDATES

"Probationary periods for fixed term contracts must be proportionate to the reduced duration of the relationship."

In this edition of Snacks, our bitesize weekly Italian employment law update, we look at the following recent cases and notices:
  • Ministry of Labour clarifies the new regulations of the ‘Collegato Lavoro’;
  • a negative message posted on the employer’s online profile constitutes a right of criticism;
  • reinstatement if dismissal for cause is based on a minor criminal conviction;
  • dismissal for exceeding maximum sick leave unlawful if employer avoided training;
  • valid dismissal for breach of the smoking ban;
  • kissing a colleague on the mouth at a company reception is sexual harassment;
  • lawful recording in the workplace for the protection of a right; and
  • disciplinary sanctions listed in the collective agreement can be disapplied if favour of the employee.
