MINISTRY OF LABOUR: CLARIFICATIONS ON APPRENTUCESHIP (IL SOLE 24 ORE, JANUARY 22, 2013, PAGE 18)

Ministry of Labor, with the note no. 5of January 21, 2013, provides with some clarifications concerning apprenticeship in the light of the amendments set by Law no. 92/2012. In particular, the Ministry specifies that if the employer does not execute the training set by the individual plan over the first year of employment, no sanctions are due; on the contrary, this breach entails administrative sanctions – and also the employment requalification – only if the employer, over the second year of employment, does not execute at least 40% or, in the third year, 60% of the accrued training hours.
