A set of reforms that affected contracts, protections, active labour policies, income support measures and simplification of employment management.
The term Jobs Act identifies a reform cycle that reshaped several areas of Italian employment law. It does not refer to a single contract, but to a framework of rules affecting flexibility, stability and protection.
The most relevant areas include contracts with increasing protections, the reorganisation of contract types, active labour policies, income support tools and simplification of procedures.
New criteria for handling the consequences of unlawful dismissal.
Review and rationalisation of the most commonly used contract types.
Guidance, training and job reintegration become central levers.
Reduction of some documentary and procedural complexities in employment management.
The open-ended contract remains the common form of subordinate employment.
Flexible instruments are brought within clearer rules.
Guidance, training and relocation become central in transition phases.
The reorganisation of rules also aims to combat irregular relationships and abuse.
