New laws and regulations
Fixed-term temporary workers: extension until 2025
The Italian Parliament recently approved a new law according to which a company may engage temporary workers on a fixed-term basis for periods exceeding twenty-four months (i.e., the ordinary maximum term), where said temporary workers are employed with an open-ended employment contract by their agencies. In this case, as a derogation to ordinary rules, user companies are not required to employ the temporary worker should the maximum term be exceeded.
Remote work for employees with children under age 14
A recent law provided that working parents, with children below the age of 14 are once again entitled to work remotely, even without a specific individual agreement with their employer. This right will be enforced until 30 June 2023 provided that: (i) there is no other non-working parent in the household or other parent benefitting from salary support schemes; and (ii) the remote work is compatible with the duties to be performed by the employee.
