Court of Cassation, judgment no. 20106 of September 24, 2014, has stated again the principle according to which for the calculation of the period of job preservation in the case of illness also public holidays have to be included when illness occurred also in the day after or before it, because a continuing illness event is presumed to occur.
With the judgment above the Court has also rejected the employee’s claim for the breach of the principles of correctness and good faith by the employer for the lack of indication in the payslip of the days considered in the calculation, because no rule exists on such an obligation.
