New measures on resignation for unjustified absences, on smart working, on term contracts and administration, with the exclusion from the 30% ceiling of workers hired on a permanent basis by employment agencies, seasonal workers and start-up companies. Instead, the definition of the seasonal work. These are some of the main points foreseen by the Labour bill, definitively approved by the Senate.
Term contracts
They are excluded from the 30% ceiling foreseen for temporary workers Temporary compared to the total number of permanent contracts, workers hired by employment agencies on a permanent basis or workers with certain characteristics or hired for certain needs (carrying out seasonal activities or specific shows, start-ups, replacing absent workers, workers over 50 years of age).
Seasonal
Furthermore, they are among the seasonal activities, those organised to deal with "intensifications" of work activity in certain periods of the year, as well as technical-production needs or needs linked to the seasonal cycles of the production sectors or markets served by the company, as provided for by the collective agreements stipulated by the most representative organisations.
Unjustified absences and resignations
THEunjustified absence of the worker extended beyond the term provided for in the contract or, in the absence of a contractual provision, beyond fifteen days, entails the termination of the employment relationship at the employee's request and in this case the rules on electronic resignations do not apply. It does not apply if the worker demonstrates the impossibility, due to force majeure or for reasons attributable to the employer, to communicate the reasons justifying the absence. The employer communicates this to the Inl (National Labor Inspectorate) which can verify.
Trial period
Redefines the trial period of fixed-term contracts: between two and fifteen days for contracts lasting up to six months; from two days to thirty days for those with a duration of more than six months and less than twelve months.
smart working
It is expected that the employer communicates, electronically to the Ministry of Labour and Social Policies, the names of the workers and the start and end date of smart working within five days of the start or end date of the period.
Pregnancy and minors for freelancers
The Labour bill provides for the suspension of the expiry of the terms of the obligations of the freelancers for childbirth, termination of pregnancy o assistance to a minor childThe rule intervenes in two areas in particular:
- protection of the freelance women, providing for a suspension of the terms relating to tax obligations in favour of its customers starting from the eighth month of gestation until the thirtieth day following birth or until the thirtieth day following the termination of the pregnancy;
- protection of parenthood, including among the hypotheses of justified absence, emergency hospitalisation due to injury or serious illness of one's minor child or for surgery on the same, situations which make it temporarily impossible to carry out one's professional activity.
Contribution debts in installments
The possibility of starting from 1 January 2025 will be available pay in installments to sixty monthly installments i debts for contributions and premiums, due to INPS and INAIL and not entrusted to collection agents. The cases will be defined by ministerial decree; the requirements, criteria and methods established by an act issued by the board of directors of each of the two bodies.
Medical visits
The obligation to medical examination prior to resuming work after an absence due to illness of more than 60 days exists only if the visit is deemed necessary by the competent doctor.
Identification badges
there is therepeal of some rules relating to the obligations on Identification cards on construction sites, considering that this discipline has already been defined by the Consolidated Law on Safety of 2008, providing for all activities in contract or subcontract, regardless of whether there is a construction site or not, that employers give cards to workers and that they keep them on display.
