Italian Employment Law Training

Italian employment law training - practical guidance and local insights

Who should attend

This Italian employment law training course is relevant to international HR managers and directors in the UK who have responsibility for employees in Italy. It will also be useful to managers and directors who anticipate entering the Italian market and who need to be aware of their responsibilities to their people.

Synopsis

Italy probably has the most complex employment law in Europe. Did you know that in Italy: there are more than 400 national collective agreements in force; four different categories of employees, all subject to specific (and different) rules and regulations; and that unfair dismissal claims can, and do, result in compulsory reinstatement and awards of more than 40 months of salary?

Successful HR management in Italy requires knowledge of Italian law and working culture.
