The Article 1, paragraph 135 of the Stability Law 2014, provides that - from 1 January 2014 - the employer who requalifies a fixed term employment contract into an open ended one gets back by INPS the additional contribution “Aspi” (the Social Insurance for Employment).

Fines against illegal labor provided for in the Decree called “Destinazione Italia” (Law Decree n. 145/2013).

INPS, with note no. 1653 of January 29, 2014, clarified that employers interested in providing incentives to leave to employees near to retirement, as provided by Fornero Reform, have to submit the relevant request online through the company's electronic file, selecting in the voice "object" the name "Exodus employees near to retirement", also delivering the form SC/77 to the NPS office competent for the social security contributions.

The so called “Rito Fornero” (the new proceeding provided for by Law 92/2012) ends up before the Constitutional Court. The IX section of the Court of Milan stated as significant the lawfulness issue regarding the lack of an abstinence obligation for the judge who has to decide on the challenge, after having already judged the summary stage of the trial on the lawfulness of the dismissal.

The article 14 of Law Decree "destination Italy", into force since 24 December 2013, has heavily increased the penalties for undeclared and irregular employment and the violations of rules on daily and weekly rests and working time.
