On June 11 the Italian Council of Ministers gave final approval for two new decrees relating to the Jobs Act – the law enabling labor reforms approved in December 2014 (c.f. article No. 8763). They contain new regulations on part-time work, restrictions on recourse to ‘para-subordinate’ workers, possibilities for downgrading job function in cases of restructuring, as well as measures for a better work life balance.
Streamlining employment contract types. Once the decree comes into force (after its publication in the Official Journal) independent Co. Co. Pro. (Contratto a progetto) contracts will no longer be allowed although existing contracts can run their course. From January 2016 all working relationships that involve provision of labor and are organized by the employer will be converted into official employment contracts.
