Modalities of dismissal in Italy

In Italy the general principle is that the dismissal must be causal. This article analyzes the dismissal reform in Italy, introduced by Legislative Decree no. 23/2015, 7 March.In collective dismissal there is a specific procedure in the case of company relocations apart from the classic collective dismissal due to staff reduction. In the other hand, the reinstatement protection, in a context of dismissal for objective justified reasons, is provided only for the case in which the judge ascertains the lack of justification for the reason consisting in the employee’s physical or psychic disability, assimilating it to the hypothesis of nullity of dismissal. Regarding disciplinary dismissal, a distinction is made between the “giusta causa” and the “giustificato soggettivo motive”
