Termination Process

Except in cases where both parties have mutually agreed that an employee is not meeting work standards, has engaged in substantial misbehavior, or is being let go for economic reasons, terminations must be justified, come with notice, and comply with the NCA.

Notice Period

In Italy, the length of the notice period depends on whether the employee or the company initiated the termination.

Severance Pay

Severance compensation is applicable in Italy if the company terminated the employee for legal reasons. The TFR (Trattamento di Fine Rapporto), which is something the employer cedes each month, must be paid to the employee upon termination. The TFR is determined by dividing the annual total remuneration by 13.5, adding 1.5% for every year of service, and accounting for inflation.

Probation Period

In Italy, statutory probation terms are determined by the employee's employment role. The probationary period is three months for employees without managerial responsibilities and six months for all other employees, managers, supervisors, etc.
