IMPLEMENTATION DECREE ON INCREASED PROTECTION BASED ON SENIORITY APPROVED (IL SOLE 24 ORE, 21 FEBRUARY 2015, PAGE 2)

21 Feb 2015

When the decree becomes effective the rules for long-term hiring and dismissal will change substantially. With the decree on increased protection, in cases of dismissal a measurable amount of compensation is required which increases based on seniority (the amount multiplies for each year on the job, but with a ceiling of 24 months salary). Reinstatement in the event of disciplinary dismissals is limited to cases where “it is directly proven in court that the material fact charged against the worker does not exist, and all other evaluations regarding the disproportion of the dismissal are irrelevant”. Reinstatement also remains for invalid, orally given and discriminatory dismissals.
