Flexibilisation of temporary contracts
Disciplina dei contratti a termine
Background information
Law No. 106 of 23 July 2021 (which concerted into law Decree Law No. 73 of 25 May 2021) modified the discipline of temporary contracts introduced by Legislative Decree No. 81 of 15 June 2015. In particular, the new law expands the reasons allowing employers to make use of temporary contract between 12 and 24 months of duration until 30 September 2022.
Content of measure
Law No. 106 of 23 July 2021 opens up the possibility for collective bargaining at all levels (sectoral, territorial and company) to deviate from the reasons allowing employers to make use of temporary contracts between 12 and 24 months of duration in specific cases identified by collective agreements. The new law allows collective agreements to define further reasons for the use of temporary contracts beyond those set by Law 96 of 12 July 2018 (the so called "Dignity Decree") which were temporary and objective needs, unrelated to ordinary activities; the need to replace other workers; needs related to temporary, significant and non-programmable increases in ordinary activity. Thereby, the law makes the use of temporary contracts more flexible compared to the discipline set by the "Dignity Decree", which restricted the use of temporary contracts after the liberalisation phase started in the early 2000s.
