The regulations apply to <strong>companies within the EU<\/strong> that <strong>post one or more workers in Italy to another company, including employment agencies and internal mobility within the same company<\/strong>. The powerful mechanism underlying the decree is structured on a set of initiative powers referred to the supervisory bodies. It refers to investigations geared, amongst other things, to verifying: the place where the company has its registered-administrative office and where it is registered; the place where the workers are hired and where they are posted to; the fact that the worker carries out his normal working activity in the State from where he was posted. If the <strong>posting<\/strong> is found <strong>not to be authentic<\/strong>, the <strong>worker <\/strong>will be considered as an <strong>employee of <\/strong>the <strong>entity which has made use of his service<\/strong>, also imposing considerable <strong>financial penalties<\/strong> on the company making the posting and on the one where the worker is posted to.
