Italia Lavoro, the Ministry of Labor’s technical agency, and Assolavoro, the association of temporary employers, signed, in September 2011, an agreement valid until December 31, 2013, to implement Article 13 of Act No. 276/2003 (the “Biagi” Act). Not yet implemented, this article provides for the possibility of derogating from the principle of equal economic and normative treatment between permanent and temporary employees in a user company, “to guarantee the integration or reintegration into the labor market of underprivileged or disabled workers” (category which includes people without a job for more than six months, disabled jobseekers or jobseekers over 50), provided that there is an individual labor integration/reintegration program with adequate training, follow-up with a tutor and a contract of at least 6 months. Therefore, this agreement determines the procedure to implement this article via special agreements between Italia Lavoro and any temporary work agency that is interested. In these agreements, the agency commits to draw up an individual integration plan guaranteeing at least 16 hours of training. If it turns out that the worker already has the required skills for the job, the agency may derogate from the training obligation but still has to assign a tutor from the agency to follow their “reintegration course.” For its part, Italia Lavoro commits to “support” the agency in this course.
