In particular, the Dignity Decree had provided that the new provisions would be applicable to renewals and extensions after 31 October 2018. Essentially, <strong>the new provisions will enter into full force on 1 November 2018<\/strong>. This means that a contract may be without specified reason in its initial 12 months, but thereafter specific reasons must be indicated, as failure to do so automatically transforms the contract into an open term one. The contract (i) may be freely extended for the first 12 months but thereafter, extensions must be supported by specific reasons and (ii) can only be renewed in the presence of specific reasons, regardless of its duration. Violation of these rules will also automatically transform the contract into an open term one. The contract\u2019s duration cannot exceed 24 months (previously the limit was 36 months) and it can be extended up to 4 times (as compared to 5 times previously).<\/p>\n<p>Correlated Contentsi:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.delucapartners.it\/en\/insights\/lo-sai-che\/did-you-know-that-the-dignity-decree-has-modified-the-rules-on-fixed-term-contracts-and-staff-leasing\/\"><span style=\"margin: 0px; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Verdana',sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;\">LO SAI CHE..
