An employment relationship involving an Italian employer or work carried out in Italy may raise questions concerning dismissal, remuneration, employment status and cross-border jurisdiction. Nationality alone does not settle the law governing the employment relationship or the applicable mandatory protections.
Dismissal, pay and employment terms
The employment contract, actual place of work, communications, payslips, applicable collective agreement and relevant termination documents must be examined. Italian employment remedies may be time-sensitive; an initial legal review should not be delayed.
Executives and cross-border employment
Termination packages, variable remuneration, restrictive covenants and the relationship between Italian law and foreign contractual clauses require individual scrutiny. Jurisdiction, mandatory employment protections and applicable law may not coincide.
Work injury and medical evidence
A serious workplace accident or occupational disease may entail employment, insurance and civil-liability issues. Independent medico-legal evaluation can be useful where causation or permanent impairment is disputed.
Information for the first consultation
Provide the employer’s identity, country and location of work, dates, contract, main payslips, disputed correspondence and any formal notice. We then establish the legal scope and the available steps.
